Portret van Jeanne Samary before 1877

Ferdinand Mulnier's "Portret van Jeanne Samary" is a small portrait of the French actress Jeanne Samary, created before 1877, during Mulnier's short career (1850-1875). The photograph is presented in a decorative frame on the page of a publication titled "Paris-Théâtre". This piece captures a intimate moment of Jeanne Samary, highlighting her melancholic expression and her pose with hands clasped under her chin. The work currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, making it a unique example of Mulnier's work and a glimpse into the world of French theatre in the late 19th century.
