Portrait of Wallis Simpson by Cecil Beaton

February 19, 2013

I love the use of summer sunshine contrasted with areas of shade to bring out the ethereal nature of Wallis’ dress, complimented by her jet black hair. For saying that she and the Queen Mother were bitter rivals, they both had a wonderful summer portrait by Cecil Beaton in common.
