| Sarah Bernhardt on tour in Australia |

This portrait of the actress was taken in Sydney during her tour of the Australian continent in 1891. Sarah Bernhardt poses as an elegant Parisian woman admiring herself in a hand-held mirror.
Sydney was abuzz with excitement in June 1891 - Sarah Bernhardt was about to arrive! And yet the tour was almost severely curtailed, as the great actress was traveling from San Francisco with her two dogs, Chouette and Star. But Australian law, designed to combat rabies, stipulated a six-month quarantine period her inseparable companions... She went to visit them on the island where they were confined, and even acquired a Saint Bernard and a koala in Australia.
Signed and inscribed by Sarah Bernhardt: "To my young and charming pupil Georges Leroy, all my sympathy. Sarah Bernhardt 1908."
356th member of the Comédie Française, Georges Le Roy was a pupil of Mounet-Sully and Sarah Bernhardt at the Conservatoire. He graduated with first prize for comedy in 1907, and went on to perform at the Sarah Bernhardt Theater. The following year, she probably offred him autographed portrait on the occasion of his admission into the Comédie Française. As teacher at the theater Conservatoire, Leroy trained a whole generation of talented actors, including Gérard Philippe.
