Throughout their fifty-year-long friendship, Abbéma would paint Bernhardt’s portrait numerous times, and would serve as her companion and confidante until Bernhardt’s death in 1923.

I'm fascinated by the recurring themes in bodies of work... this is lovely. Thank you. xo
Lovely painting. Sarah (if it is Sarah) looks cold and lonely, though.
