EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sarah Bernhardt, the legendary French actress and courtesan. Regarded as the greatest actress of her time in any language, she exudes an aura of elegance and grace. The portrait showcases her profile, emphasizing her Western script features and star-like presence. Taken in London in 1882, this image also symbolizes a significant moment in Bernhardt's life - her marriage to Aristides Damala, a Greek-born actor. The wedding ring on her finger serves as a reminder of this union that brought together two talented individuals from different backgrounds. Created by Edward Linley Sambourne for Punch's Fancy Portraits series, this cartoon-style illustration adds a touch of whimsy to the photograph. Sambourne skillfully captures Bernhardt's beauty while infusing it with his own artistic flair. The vertical composition allows us to focus solely on Bernhardt herself, highlighting her mesmerizing gaze and theatrical persona. Her naked shoulder hints at vulnerability beneath her confident exterior. As we admire this historical portrait, we are transported back to the 19th century when Sarah Bernhardt reigned supreme on stage. This artwork not only celebrates one woman's extraordinary talent but also pays homage to the rich history of arts and culture during that era.
