Portret van Mariette Lelières before 1900

This small portrait, likely created before 1900 by an anonymous artist, depicts Mariette Lelières, a French comedienne and singer. The image, measuring only 69 mm by 55 mm, is part of a larger program for the Théâtre Royal de l'Alcazar in Brussels, showcasing a performance of "La Dame de Chez Maxim" in the 1900-1901 season. The portrait features a frontal view of Lelières, likely intended to capture her likeness and highlight her performance in the play. While the artist remains unknown, this small work provides a glimpse into the theatrical world of late 19th-century Europe, highlighting a prominent figure from the entertainment scene.
