Veruschka floats at the water’s surface with her head tilted back, eyes closed, as if listening to the sea rather than posing for a camera.

The wide-brim hat frames her face like a halo, while long gloves and slim heels complete the refined, editorial silhouette associated with late-1950s high fashion photography. Even in a monochrome print, the…
