Product description
There is a specific shimmering quality to the midday sun reflected off a 1930s California swimming pool. In this candid-style composition by Scotty Welbourne, the legendary actress sits relaxed on the edge of a diving board, wearing a patterned sun dress, dark sunglasses, and a knotted headscarf.
About Bette Davis
Bette Davis (1908–1989) was a two-time Oscar winner famous for All About Eve. Mid-century glamour photography captures the style of the film stars of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Hollywood studios employed portrait photographers to shape each star’s image for magazines and publicity. Studio portrait photographers of Hollywood’s golden age used dramatic lighting to create the glamour of the stars.
Styling this Bette Davis photograph
This Bette Davis photograph pairs a moody atmosphere with a black-and-white palette that is easy to build a room around. The square composition of “Poolside” suits gallery walls and shelves in a home office, printed on a standard size with a balanced border. Because “Poolside” is black and white, it pairs with any colour scheme; a slim black frame and a wide mat complete the look.
