1844 Bernhardt Ear Ring Figaro Sarah 1923
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary French actress Sarah Bernhardt in the role of Figaro during a performance in 1923. Born in Paris in 1844, Bernhardt was a trailblazing figure in the world of theater, known for her extraordinary talent, unique stage presence, and defiance of societal norms. In this image, Bernhardt's profile is illuminated by the soft glow of the stage lights, her intense gaze fixed on an unseen audience. Her expressive face, with its bold features and striking profile, is framed by a cascade of curly hair. The elegant earring dangling from her ear adds a touch of sophistication to her regal appearance. Figaro was a role that Bernhardt made her own, having first performed it in 1899. Her portrayal of the mischievous and resourceful servant in Beaumarchais's "The Barber of Seville" and "The Marriage of Figaro" was a critical and commercial success, earning her accolades from audiences and critics alike. Bernhardt's career spanned over six decades, during which she appeared in over 1,400 performances and created more than 50 roles. Her influence on the theater world was profound, and she remains an iconic figure in the history of French and international theater. This photograph is a testament to her enduring legacy and the indelible mark she left on the stage.
