Poolside Chez Holder

Description

Poolside Chez Holder presents five figures at Albin Holder’s Palm Beach estate in May 1970, with Lillian Crawford Kinsolving descending into the rectangular turquoise pool. Slim Aarons captured this scene beneath a distinctive copper-domed gazebo, its ornate structure commanding the center while green and white striped loungers rest on pristine white terraces. Neoclassical columns topped with decorative pineapple finials rise behind the swimmers, classical busts stand sentinel on pedestals, and a mature palm tree frames the left side. The multi-level stone terracing creates architectural depth against Florida’s clear blue sky.

This extraordinary print transforms your living space into a window to Palm Beach’s golden era of invitation-only gatherings. Your guests will recognize this pinnacle of American resort elegance, where the turquoise waters and white stonework bring sophisticated leisure into your daily environment.
