From a bird’s-eye view, the emerald green water of a swimming pool sparkles, creating a jewel-like oasis high above a Swiss lake. This is Poolside At The Burgenstock Estate, a masterful 1958 photograph by Slim Aarons. The scene is set at the exclusive Burgenstock Estate in Switzerland, where a woman in a red polka-dot swimsuit and a wide-brimmed straw hat relaxes at the water’s edge. Her face is hidden, creating a sense of mystery and serene anonymity, while two men enjoy the cool water nearby.
