VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an illustration depicting a stylized, surreal scene where a woman in early 20th-century swimwear stands at the edge of water, gazing out to sea with her hand shielding her eyes from the sun. She wears a dark blue one-piece swimsuit with lighter blue accents and a flared skirt detail. Her hair is styled up with what appears to be large seashell-like adornments on either side of her head. Beside her stands an anthropomorphic deer creature in an awkward pose, its front hooves bent as if it's bowing or leaning forward while looking through some sort of viewing device that resembles binoculars or perhaps an old-fashioned camera. The creature is adorned with intricate harnesses and decorations that give it a fantastical appearance. The overall aesthetic combines elements of fashion illustration with fantasy art, creating an image that feels both whimsical and slightly eerie. The caption "LES BELLES ET LA BÊTE" suggests a play on the French fairy tale title "Beauty and the Beast, " implying these figures might represent beauty (the elegantly dressed woman) juxtaposed against beastliness (the bizarrely human-like deer). The text below further enhances this interpretation by suggesting we're seeing something akin to photographic evidence ("Voici une vue photographique. . . "), adding another layer of intrigue to this unusual tableau.
