Captured by celebrated French photojournalist Raymond Depardon, co-founder of the renowned Gamma Agency, the image exemplifies the candid, observational style that defined European celebrity photography during the late twentieth century. Dunaway is shown seated at a dinner or reception, wearing a distinctive knitted cap and dramatic eye makeup characteristic of the era, while Schatzberg sits beside her in formal evening attire. The photograph captures a rare, unguarded moment between two prominent figures of international cinema and fashion culture, reflecting the sophisticated artistic milieu that surrounded the New Hollywood generation. The reverse bears the photographer’s stamped credit, “Photographie par Raymond Depardon – Gamma, Paris,”together with editorial notations, publication instructions, and archive markings documenting the photograph’s use within the European press. Such verso markings enhance both authenticity and historical significance, evidencing the photograph’s original circulation through professional editorial channels. Printed as a gelatin silver press photograph, the image displays strong tonal contrast and sharp detail, characteristic of professional agency photography of the period. Works by Raymond Depardon occupy an important place in post-war photojournalism, and his photographs of leading cultural figures remain highly sought after by collectors. Condition: Overall good vintage condition. Minor handling wear, light corner and edge wear, scattered surface marks, and faint age toning consistent with editorial use.
