As we delve deeper into the image, we notice several famous figures from the era, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the scene. Among them are Mr. St. John Hutchinson, the Hungarian-born British diplomat, and the renowned painter, Philip de Laszlo. Two elegant women, Lady Diana Duff-Cooper and Lady Wavertree, gracefully sit at a table in the foreground, their vibrant attire standing out against the night's dark backdrop. Lady Diana Duff-Cooper, a British socialite and the wife of the 6th Duke of Buccleuch, is depicted in a stunning pink dress, her captivating expression reflecting the excitement of the evening. Lady Wavertree, on the other hand, wears a sophisticated black gown, her poised demeanor exuding an air of sophistication and mystery. The Venice Lido, a popular resort on the Italian Adriatic coast, was the epitome of glamour and elegance during the 1920s. Chez Vous, with its enchanting fountains and star-studded guest list, was the place to be for the smart set, offering an unforgettable nightlife experience that continues to captivate us today. Fortunino Matania's masterful depiction of this iconic scene is a testament to the enduring allure of the Roaring Twenties.
