The composition transports us to a sacred space within a church, where Bernhardt's character stands surrounded by nuns. Their solemn expressions hint at the spiritual intensity conveyed throughout the play. Clairin's brushstrokes bring life to every detail, from the delicate folds of their habits to the ethereal glow emanating from above. This print not only celebrates Bernhardt's undeniable talent but also pays homage to her contribution to theater history.
