About the artist
Studio Harcourt is a photography studio founded in Paris in 1934 by the brothers Lacroix. It is known in particular for its black and-white photographs of movie stars and celebrities, but having one's photo taken at Harcourt a few times during one's life was once considered standard by the French upper middle class.

Studio Harcourt Paris was created in 1934 through a collaboration between Cosette Harcourt, the two Lacroix brothers and Robert Ricci (Nina Ricci’s son).
