Portret van Bade before 1900

"Portret van Bade" is a small-format photographic portrait by Edouard Grauwet, created before 1900. The image features Madame Bade, likely an actress or performer, dressed in a fashionable costume. The photograph is presented within a larger printed program for the Théâtre Molière in Brussels, advertising a performance of "La Tortue." This suggests that Grauwet was a photographer for the theater, specializing in publicity portraits for its performers. The small size of the print, measuring 90 mm by 60 mm, further indicates that it was intended for a specific purpose, such as a promotional item for the theater.
