Backgammon Trio

Backgammon Trio captures an extraordinary 1955 Palm Beach moment where Patsy Bartlett and Peter Pulitzer lean over their backgammon board in concentrated play, while a young black and white colobus monkey drapes elegantly across Peter's shoulders. Slim Aarons documented this remarkable intersection of leisure-class sophistication and unexpected whimsy, where the primate's presence transforms an ordinary game into something wonderfully surreal. The intimate setting reveals the unguarded ease of those who lived at the pinnacle of American society, where even a casual afternoon could become an unforgettable tableau of glamour and spontaneity.

This print transforms your space into a sanctuary where sophisticated taste meets conversation-worthy intrigue. The unexpected presence of that colobus monkey becomes your ultimate icebreaker, drawing viewers into stories about an era when Palm Beach represented the zenith of American elegance and social freedom. Backgammon Trio brings more than visual interest to your walls; it creates an atmosphere where the extraordinary feels natural, where your collection speaks to an appreciation for those rare moments when Slim Aarons captured not just wealth, but genuine personality and the delightful unpredictability of mid-century high society at its most uninhibited and charming.
