1. Sarah Bernhardt as Floria Tosca in Sardou's play La Tosca(Act 1). Bernhardt is dressed in an opulent period costume, characteristic of a celebrated opera singer in Napoleonic-era Rome. Her gown is richly adorned, featuring a fitted bodice, and flowing fabric that adds to the grandeur of her stage presence. Her pose is expressive and commanding, with a gaze that conveys Tosca’s fiery personality—whether in a moment of suspicion, jealousy, or devotion to her lover, Mario Cavaradossi.
