Description

A magazine cover features a reproduction of a Renaissance-era painting of a light-skinned woman wearing a jeweled necklace and elaborate gown. Pieces of circular pasta are placed over the woman's face and body. Blue sans-serif typography spells out "THE PERFECT FOOD" and the text "What would Italy be without pasta?". At the top-right of the cover is the logo of "THE NEW YORK TIMES STYLE MAGAZINE". The image is shot with eye-level framing.
