EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923), in the role of Adrienne Lecouvreur," was created by renowned French painter Louise Abbema in 1880. The image captures Bernhardt in the iconic role of Adrienne Lecouvreur, a tragic actress from 17th century France. The actress' intense gaze and expressive face convey the depth of emotion and passion that she brought to her performances. Bernhardt's striking blue eyes are accentuated by her elaborate costume, which includes a flowing, blue velvet dress, a voluminous headdress adorned with feathers and jewels, and a turban. The richly textured and colored oil painting exudes the opulence and grandeur of the Parisian stage during the 19th century. The portrait was created during the height of Bernhardt's career, when she was known as "La Divine Sarah" and was celebrated as one of the greatest actresses of her time. The painting is now part of the collection of the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, a historic institution dedicated to the history of the city. This portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of Sarah Bernhardt and her impact on the world of theater and performance. With her direct gaze and powerful presence, Bernhardt continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day.
