EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of American dancer Nina Payne in the height of her fame during the Jazz Age of the 1920s. The image, taken in Nice, France in 1925, shows Payne in the midst of a graceful dance move, her lithe figure clad in a chic, form-fitting dress that epitomizes the fashionable trends of the time. The dress, adorned with intricate beading and fringing, shimmers in the sunlight filtering through the open French doors behind her. Payne's expressive face, framed by a sunshade, exudes a sense of joy and energy, reflecting the infectious spirit of the music that accompanied her performances. Her dance style, a fusion of modern jazz and classical ballet, was a sensation in Paris and on the Riviera, where she frequently performed. The portrait also showcases the opulent surroundings of the hall where Payne danced, with its ornate moldings and gilded accents. The stage, bathed in soft light, is set with elegant chairs and a grand piano, adding to the refined atmosphere. Payne's outfit is accessorized with an ostrich feather fan, a popular accessory among flapper women of the 1920s. The feather fan not only added a touch of glamour to her look but also served as a practical tool to keep cool in the warm Mediterranean climate. This portrait of Nina Payne, captured in Nice in 1925, is a testament to the vibrant culture and fashion of the Jazz Age and a reminder of the enduring legacy of this remarkable American dancer.
