Sarah Bernhardt was arguably the Meryl Streep of her day, celebrated as the world’s greatest actress during her lifetime and achieving legendary status by the early 20th century. Bernhardt was also recognised for her talent in the medium of #sculpture, a passion which complemented her success as a stage artist and became her second profession. Our sale of 19th & 20th Century Sculpture in #London on Wednesday presents a recently discovered, seemingly unique marble bust by Bernhardt. ‘Hermione’ represents the dramatic heroine from Greek mythology, a role Bernhardt played on stage in 1903. Bernhardt presents Hermione as a fiercely frowning girl with wings in her hair and a pair of snakes writhing above her head. Despite her overall success, Bernhardt faced some difficulty in her early career: not only was she one of few women active in the profession at the time, as an established actress, she was particularly vulnerable to scepticism about her talent and commitment. Berhardt silenced her critics, however, and in 1879, her sculptures were shown in London to great acclaim. #Sothebys19thCentury
