EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pencil portrait of the renowned actress Sarah Bernhardt. Created by French artist Jules Bastien-Lepage in 1879, this exquisite piece of art captures the essence of naturalism and realism prevalent during the late nineteenth century. The portrait depicts Sarah Bernhardt standing gracefully with an ornate hairstyle, her profile beautifully highlighted against a mounted paper background. The intricate details of her hair, posture, and facial features are meticulously rendered through delicate pencil strokes, showcasing Bastien-Lepage's exceptional skill as an artist. Sarah Bernhardt herself was a celebrated figure in both French and European theater during the 19th century. Her fame and talent made her one of the most prominent actresses of her time. In this portrait, she exudes confidence and elegance, embodying the spirit of a true celebrity. The inclusion of a falcon perched on Sarah Bernhardt's hand adds an intriguing element to the composition. Symbolizing power and predatory nature, it hints at both her commanding presence on stage as well as her ability to captivate audiences with every performance. Overall, this remarkable artwork is not only a testament to Jules Bastien-Lepage's artistic prowess but also serves as a timeless tribute to one of history's most famous actresses - Sarah Bernhardt.
