Mary Binney Montgomery in Oramunde, experimental film directed by Emlen Etting in 1933 / full short film on YouTube / source:
A study on the theme of ‘Pelléas et Méllissande’. A female figure, her face hidden by a long veil, dances, twirls, and runs on the shore. She leaps on rocks along the edge of the sea, her veil wafting behind her.


It has been suggested that this photograph, the only [known] nude by de Meyer, has some connection to the Ballets Russes, but the nature of that link remains mysterious. The image vibrates with an uneasy erotic tension, a product of the figure’s exposed torso, startled body language, and disguised identity. (quoted from The Met)
