Yes a Ziegfeld Follies girl - shot by Alfred Cheney Johnston. Once you know what to look for you can pretty much always tell his work. He had a certain set of backdrops and poses etc. that earmark his style. He was very prolific and even though he wasn't overly creative, his wide variety of Ziegfeld girls and huge body of work certainly make him one of my fav photographers of this era.
