This poignant black-and-white photograph captures the iconic jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald in a moment of deep introspection during a live performance in East Germany (DDR) in 1967. In this striking image, Fitzgerald is seen gently resting her hand against her cheek, a gesture that conveys vulnerability and emotional depth. Her eyes, half-closed, reflect a connection to the music and a moment of personal reflection.
