content: A silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white image of a female performer in costume. She is depicted dancing on a stage. She is wearing a black, string bikini. She is facing the viewer and looking down towards the stage. Her proper right arm is raised in front of her face and her proper left arm is behind her in mid-swing. Behind her is a low, white picket fence, decorated with plants and ivy. A cut out of an illustrated man with the end of an arrow protruding from his backside sits on top of the picket fence. To the left of the fence is a man in a white suit jacket, black pants, and a dark bow tie. Several people are watching the woman perform from behind the picket fence. There are no inscriptions on the front or back of the photograph.
