Promenade des Anglais 1934

Lisette Model's 1934 photograph, *Promenade des Anglais*, is a striking example of her street photography style. The image captures a lone man in a suit, seated and seemingly lost in thought on the famed Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France. Model's signature use of close cropping and high contrast emphasizes the man's posture and the geometric lines of his clothing, creating a sense of isolation and introspection. The photograph's timeless quality and focus on the individual in a bustling public space have made it a celebrated work of social documentary photography.
