The pair of photographs in bidding is extremely interesting because it immortalizes Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn, two avant-garde icons of 1930s cinema who revolutionized women's fashion by adopting the traditionally masculine tailored pants and suits. Both actresses challenged the social and wardrobe norms of Hollywood, establishing an androgynous and elegant style that broke the canon, establishing themselves as fashion pioneers.

George Hurrell was a fundamental American photographer in the construction of the glamorous image of classic Hollywood, especially during the 30s and 40s, when he worked for major studios such as MGM portraying stars like Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable and Jean Harlow.
