What it is
A colour lithograph by Alphonse Mucha for Médée with Sarah Bernhardt at the Théâtre de la Renaissance, dated 1898 and printed by F. Champenois, Paris. Rennert and Weill catalogue it as no. 53.
Why it matters
Two years after La Dame aux Camélias, the same actress, printer and format, for a tragedy.
What to notice
Hold it beside the Camélias sheet: one format, two opposite roles.
One actress, one printer, one tall sheet per role.
