Sheer Elegance Poster
By Alberto Vargas
About the image
Beautiful. Statuesque. Dramatic. "Sheer Elegance" is one of the most universally appealing images we offer. While simply an image of a lovely woman striking a pose, "Sheer Elegance" also symbolizes the romance, sophistication, and strength that women embody.
The model for this design is believed to be Anna Mae Clift, Alberto's wife. She began posing for Vargas in the 1920's, when she was a dancer with the Greenwich Village Follies.
