This is a portrait of the French actor Léon David, likely taken sometime before 1900. The image is a small, black and white photograph that appears within a program for the opera La Bohème, performed at the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels during the 1900-1901 season. David was known for his roles in both comic and dramatic productions, and this image captures his serious demeanor. It offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th century theater in Europe.
