Bundled up, warm and elegant against the elements, this woman hugs herself within the folds of her luxurious white fur coat against the chill of a blue background. This image for the Swiss furrier was so popular that it was re-used three times since its original creation in 1924. In this, the final incarnation, the woman's cuffs are purple and magenta. Sports D'Hiver p. 63 (var).
