  Henri Cartier-Bresson, Mexique.
  Estimate: €6,000-8,000.

  Henri Cartier-Bresson arrived in Mexico in 1934 and succeeded in capturing movement in this photograph, creating a picture which keeps the energy of the action thanks to the framing and the composition. On his way to the bathroom, Cartier-Bresson saw two women entwined on the bed. The lines blurred together create a photograph with both fixed and animated effects.
