About the Item
A fabulous discovery—this bronze chimera represents a self-portrait by the famous Sarah Bernhardt in the form of a monstrous chimera! A bronze reduction based on the terracotta created by the artist around 1870. This is the paperweight version, slightly smaller than the famous inkwell produced by Thiebaud Frères around 1880. An identical model is preserved in the Intercommunal Museum of Étampes (see last photo). An exceptional object of absolute rarity. Maximum length: 12 cm.
