THE LITTLE BUTTERFLY, 1901, by Rudolf Eickemeyer. The photograph shows 16-year-old Evelyn Nesbit wearing in a Japanese kimono, posed sleeping on a polar bear rug. Nesbit began her modeling career in her early teens and posed for many respected artists most notably, Charles Dana Gibson, who idealized her as a 'Gibson Girl'. She became the first 'pin-up' girl and became romantically involved with the famous architect, Stanford White, which led to a scandal in 1906 (BSLOC_2019_8_127)
