About the piece
Painted in 1913 by Louis-Édouard Fournier, this luminous oil portrait captures Gabrielle Robinne, a prominent member of the Comédie-Française. She is depicted in character as Elmire from Molière's Tartuffe, wearing a delicate pearl headpiece and an intricate lace-trimmed gown that exemplifies the romantic theatricality of the era.
