Photo taken in 1972 in Rhode Island (east coast of the United States), at the home of a friend of the photographer and Susan. Susan was a "folk singer", Eve Rubinstein took several (I think three?) nudes of her at the time, different shots, different backgrounds, but in the same setting. Another famous photo from this session and from this house is the famous photograph titled "Bed in the Mirror." It is a reflection of a bed in an oval mirror hanging on the wall. The photos have been shown in many exhibitions, the nude of Susan presented here, among others, was reproduced in a monograph in China in 2017. The photo was taken in an edition of three pieces, and is signed on the front and back. The artist has also shot nudes in her photographic career.
