About the work
Portrait of Sarah Bernhardt in costume as the Empress Theodora in the 1884 production of Theodora. She poses dramatically in front of an interior backdrop with one arm raised high above her head and her head tilted back slightly. Sheer fabric covers her face and head and wraps around her dress, revealing the decorative pattern of her dress underneath.
