VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an illustration from the cover of "La Parisienne, " a French magazine, dated September 5, 1931. The artwork depicts a stylishly dressed couple in an outdoor setting that suggests they are engaged in or returning from a hunting activity. The man, wearing a suit and tie with his hair neatly parted, stands behind the woman with one arm gently around her shoulder and holds a shotgun in his other hand. He leans forward slightly as if whispering into the ear of the woman who is facing towards him with an amused expression. The woman sports fashion indicative of the early 20th century: she wears a red dress with white collar and cuffs, along with a matching red hat adorned by what appears to be feathers or ribbon detail; she also carries her own shotgun at ease by her side. Her posture and facial expression convey both complicity and delight in whatever conversation they are sharing. Above them on this vintage magazine cover is the title "La Parisienne" set against blue-white-red stripes reminiscent of the French flag's colors. Below them reads "Histoire de Chasse:" followed by some text which translates to "Here. . . Jean after having missed Marguerite. . . A beautiful young man. " This caption seems to playfully suggest either a literal hunting story or perhaps uses 'hunting' as metaphor for romantic pursuit. The overall tone of this image captures both elegance and intimacy within what might be considered leisure activities for people of their class during that era.
