Ann Sothern with a super-cute white floof dog. I don't have any more information than that, but how much more do we need, really.

Sothern has on a chic little black hat and a fur jacket. She is holding the small(ish) dog. The dog has floppy floof ears, a big black nose, and fur almost covering its eyes.
