A gathering in Natalie Clifford Barney's garden, possibly a performance of Équivoque with Barney and Eva Palmer, c. 1900

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: American writer Natalie Clifford Barney lived most her life as an expatriate in Paris. At her home there, she hosted a weekly salon, sometimes including performances. This photo depicts Barney along with Eva Palmer and Liane de Pougy, both current or former lovers of Barney's, and other women dressed in ancient Greek attire. At least one source (Dorf, below) attests that the image depicts a performance of Barney's play Équivoque, a retelling of Sappho's legend first performed in 1906.
