Ms. Jantzen Stands Tall

Portland, Oregon
1921 JZ2160

Costume
   Red-orange maillot skirted pantaloon, with hose and shoes.

   TL. Armpit.

Actions
   This longish form, set against a cloud in the sky and admired by figures in the columned distance, poses with one armpit stretched upward and her forearm crosses her hair (1).

Commentary
   Shadows form breasts and a waistline that hints down a covered pelvis. The hose are patterned at the top, but not rolled down. The posture is cool, confident, curvaceous.
