Her complexion, described as "roses and cream - well mixed," is a testament to the transformative power of Pears soap. Madame Yevonde's preference for photographing faces with depth and personality was a departure from the commonplace, pretty-pretty beauties of the era. Her artistic vision sought to celebrate the intricacies of the human face, capturing the unique qualities that set each subject apart. This image, taken in the 1920s, is a striking representation of the era's evolving ideals of beauty.
