Contemporary chromogenic print, 18.2 x 11.8, mounted in a passe-partout.

Gisèle Freund (1908–2000) was, alongside Brassaï, Claude Cahun and Paul Facchetti, one of the handful of photographers tolerated by Michaux: she remained on friendly terms with him. Thus, on 15 April 1970, she thanked Michaux for the “wonderful ink” he had given her.
