Comments:
The image here is scandalous. A woman sits glamorously on a couch, the strap of her ball gown slipping down her shoulder. She holds a box of De Rezke cigarettes in one hand, while with the other she offers a man, sitting with his legs wide open, a puff of her cigarette. The gesture is overtly sexual in nature, and is captioned “Widow’s Weeds,” playing on the concept of weeds referring to the widow’s black clothes, as well as her tobacco. A portrait of her late husband looms behind her as she makes sexual advances on the young man in her presence, associating her loose morals with smoking.
