The face of an unknown dead woman
inspired an entire generation of culture
in early 20th-century Paris. According
to legend, after the drowned woman’s
body was pulled from the Seine River,
a man at the morgue found her so
beautiful that he had her death mask
created. Known as the Stranger of the
Seine, it was later reproduced so many
times that it became a fixture of
Paris Bohemian society.
