| Description : | This action photograph of figure skaters Barbara Wagner and Robert Paul shows the pair in mid-jump during a performance. Both skaters have their arms crossed over their chests, and their right legs are extended behind them while their left legs are extended forward and are bent at the knee. They both have their bodies turned toward the camera and are smiling. Wagner is wearing a dark skating dress, and Paul is wearing a dark skating suit. Onlookers observe the performance from a row of steps behind the skaters. This is a glossy black and white photograph. |
