Artwork notes
Designed for actress Sarah Bernhardt; the tall format helps make the figure monumental.
Materials, marks and colour
Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.
Media and surface
Lithographic posters and large painted cycles require very different surfaces.
Marks and structure
Outlines, hair and plant motifs connect the figure with its surrounding frame.
Palette and light
Soft colour in posters contrasts with the wider atmospheric range of his history paintings.
