Berhnardt, one of the most important actresses of her day, is frozen, here, in a stance and expression of great beauty, strength, and allure. As her flowing hair gently frames her face, a bold sash daringly decorates her chest; her eyes are cast downward, as though to the audience below her in the pit of one of her acclaimed performances.Artist: Paul-François BerthoudCirca: 1900Dimensions: 23" height, 20" width, 13" depth ;Materials: Bronze, MarbleSigned: "PF Berthoud," stamped with the Louchet foundry markExhibition History: Slightly different portrait sculpture of Sarah Bernhardt, also by Paul-François Berthoud, is in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay
