EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the legendary French actress Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) in an intimate moment of her daily routine. The image, circa 1895, reveals Bernhardt applying a fine layer of Le Diaphane Poudre de Riz (Translucent Rice Powder) to her face, an essential part of her beauty regimen during the Belle Époque era. The words "adherant, invisible, hygienic" inscribed on the powder container suggest that the product clings effectively to the skin, leaving a flawless and imperceptible finish, while maintaining cleanliness and promoting good health. Sarah Bernhardt, a trailblazer in the world of theater, was known for her captivating stage presence and unique beauty. Her commitment to her craft extended to her personal care routine, which included the use of high-quality and effective toiletries. The rice powder, with its discreet and elegant packaging, was a testament to the sophistication and refinement of the time. The use of rice powder as a cosmetic dates back to ancient civilizations, and its popularity continued well into the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The rice powder's ability to absorb excess oil and leave a matte finish made it a staple in the makeup kits of many actresses and women of high society. The image of Sarah Bernhardt applying the powder adds to her mythic status as a timeless beauty and an icon of French culture. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the personal life of one of the most celebrated actresses in history, revealing a moment of quiet intimacy and self-care. The historical significance of the image, combined with the allure of Sarah Bernhardt's enigmatic persona, makes this a captivating and intriguing addition to any collection.
