VISUAL DESCRIPTION

This is an illustration from the cover of "La Vie Parisienne, " a French weekly magazine, dated Saturday, November 17, 1917. The artwork depicts a stylishly dressed woman with short hair admiring her reflection in a full-length mirror. She appears to be wearing a chic one-piece undergarment or playsuit with knee-length pants and sleeveless top, accessorized with long gloves and what seems like a feathered hat at her feet. Her outfit suggests the fashion of the early 20th century. The setting includes domestic elements such as wallpaper and flooring that evoke an intimate boudoir atmosphere. A cat is playfully engaging with items on the floor—what looks like yarn or ribbon spilling out from an ornate box, possibly suggesting sewing or gift-wrapping activities. The text at the bottom right corner reads "Titine, Nouvelle Riche, " which may imply that this character named Titine has recently come into wealth and is enjoying her newfound status through fashionable attire. Overall, this image captures both elegance and whimsy while providing insight into historical fashion trends and societal norms of early 20th-century Parisian life.
