VISUAL DESCRIPTION

In this delicate portrayal from "La Vie Parisienne," we see an elegant woman seated on a plush stool applying powder from a puff—the title “LES ARMES DE LA FEMME” (Weapons of Woman) implies that beauty routines were considered as tools for influence or allure at that time. Rendered by Géo Léonnec, this image celebrates feminine grace with its soft color palette highlighting the subject's slender figure against an oval background—a common stylistic choice for framing subjects during this period.
