About the piece
Painted by Théobald Chartran in 1883, this oil on panel depicts Suzanne Reichenberg, a celebrated sociétaire of the Comédie-Française. The work showcases Chartran's mastery of light and texture, particularly in the delicate white lace and the satin sheen of the black headdress, punctuated by striking red bows.
