Description
Edith Hansel captures Yale student Edith Hansel in a moment of effortless grace, sprawled across a sofa at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic circa 1990. Slim Aarons photographed this intimate scene with his characteristic eye for sophisticated leisure, where warm tropical light filters through the luxurious resort setting. The relaxed composition and rich, inviting tones create an atmosphere of carefree elegance that defined the international leisure class, revealing how true style emerges not from posing but from genuine comfort in rarefied surroundings.
This photograph brings the romance of Caribbean resort living into your space, where Edith Hansel's relaxed confidence becomes a daily reminder that true sophistication requires no effort. Your living room, study, or bedroom gains the narrative of an era when leisure was an art form, when the world's privileged few understood that the finest moments happened between activities rather than during them. Guests will pause before this scene, drawn into its intimate warmth and timeless appeal, recognizing the same aspirational ease that made Aarons the defining chronicler of beautiful people in beautiful places.
Available in lustrous photo finish or refined matte, each print arrives professionally framed in your choice of classic black, crisp white, or natural wood. Slim Aarons understood that the best photographs feel discovered rather than staged, and this print delivers that same sense of privileged access to your walls. Bring home a piece of resort history and let this evocative moment enrich your daily life with its gentle reminder that elegance lives in unhurried moments.
