Doorway of the Michael Kors show at 610 fifth avenue, NY in Rockefeller Center. This entry door between two shop windows belongs to the “Maison Française”, which celebrates the “Friendship of France and the United States. It features a gilded bas-relief by Alfred Janniot called : “Paris and New York Joining Hands Above Figures of Poetry, Beauty and Elegance”, dating from 1934.

This detail shows two of the three graces: poetry, and beauty. The third of the three graces (elegance) also appears on the doorway but is not shown in this picture.
