This studio photograph of Michèle Mercier (b.1939) was taken in May 1968 in Paris, France.
The picture was specially prepared for the Belgian film magazine Cine Revue. During this period, the actress actively starred in the final parts of the famous series of films about Angelica. For the photo shoot, she tried on the image of a ballerina, referring to her early youth, when she was professionally engaged in classical dance and dreamed of a ballet career.
She was shot on color slide film specifically for the bright cover and color spreads of the weekly Cine Revue.
