Description: 
Artistic photograph of Antonia Caruana (later Rahbeh, 1908-2000). She is wearing a light-coloured dress that exposes her shoulder and back. The dress is fastened to a strap, which is made of a series of small artificial flowers. Her hair is styled in a short haircut. Her make-up is clearly visible and impressive: dark lipstick, heavy eyeshadow and black-painted thin eyebrows. The beauty mark above her upper lip could be natural, however it was also fashionable to paint in on.
