EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the late 19th century and introduced to the iconic actress Sarah Bernhardt. The image captures her in a moment of repose, reclining on a luxurious divan while engrossed in a book. Sarah Bernhardt, known for her dramatic performances and larger-than-life personality, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication as she indulges in her love for literature. Her striking presence is beautifully captured by Georges-Jules-Victor Clairin, a French artist renowned for his portraits of prominent figures. The use of graphite with lead white heightening adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing our perception of Bernhardt's graceful posture and delicate features. The sheet itself measures 24.3 x 38.8 cm (9 9/16 x 15 1/4 in. ), providing us with an intimate glimpse into the world of this legendary actress. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we can't help but imagine ourselves sitting alongside Sarah Bernhardt on that divan, sharing in her passion for literature. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the chaos of life's demands, finding solace within the pages of a book can transport us to another realm entirely. This print from Liszt Collection offers not only an artistic representation but also invites us to reflect on our own relationship with literature and how it has shaped our lives throughout history.
