Vera Nemchinova and Robert Joffrey in an unidentified, undated, publicity photo.
As his history tells us, Joffrey was much interested in the memories and knowledge of retired dancers.
Perhaps this shot was taken when/if Joffrey invited Nemchinova to consult on his company's revival of Massine's PULCINELLA which was staged in 1974.

This is just wonderful.  She is so animated and he looks so young!

He does look young there.  I started working for him in 1974, and there was already a bit of gray in his beard.  I'd say this was a couple of years before, about the time of "Remembrances".  He was always meeting people, and mentally filing away material to be used when the proper opportunity presented itself.
