Across the Restaurant, Barbara Mullen, dress by Jacques Fath, Le Grand Véfour, Paris
A striking fashion photograph by Lillian Bassman capturing model Barbara Mullen wearing an elegant dress by Jacques Fath, set against the ornate backdrop of Le Grand Véfour, one of Paris's most storied restaurants. Bassman's signature high-contrast, painterly aesthetic transforms the image into something dreamlike and ethereal, blurring the boundaries between photography and fine art. This rare signed and numbered print, 14 of only 15 examples, underscores the work's exceptional collectibility and its place within Bassman's celebrated body of fashion imagery.
