Model Dorothea McGowan, in close-up, scooping out an oyster from its shell with a silver fork, as she holds a small pearl in her mouth. A bottle in an ice bucket sits in the foreground, out of focus, with a bank of lights behind her. She wears an unattributed green strapless top, with a pile of four necklaces of baroque cultured pearls: one strand is ninety-six inches long and the other three are sixty-three inches long. On her hand, she wears a ring of a large Mabe pearl surrounded by diamonds. Both the ring and all four necklaces are by Imperial Pearl. Her hair is brightened by a custom hair tint by L'Oreal. Makeup from Princess Marcella Borghese: Vivida Rosa Lipstick and a sweep of green eyeliner on the eyes.
