From the Getty Museum record
Full-length portrait of Dovima, a fashion model, posing under the elevated railway in Chicago. She wears a short-sleeve green dress, red lipstick, and her hair swept up into an updo. She stands facing image right with her right arm slightly bent and extended out in front of her. She looks directly out at the camera. She is surrounded by bolts of fabric, which have been inserted into the trusses of the elevated railway and are arranged in a pile at her feet. In the background, at image left, a police man stands with his hands on his hips watching the scene.
