Illustration from the January 1935 issue of Fortune Magazine featuring a Chinese woman in a contemporary cheongsam.  The dress is modestly cut, but she displays her ankles.  She looks directly out at the viewer and holds a cigarette in her left hand. Behind her can be seen a modern city--possibly the Bund in Shanghai-- and a horse track.  The title of the illustration is "The Modern Chinese Woman--A Symptom--An Ideal."
