Portret van Florence West before 1885

This photograph, taken by Herbert Rose Barraud before 1885, captures actress Florence West in a theatrical pose. West leans dramatically on a chair, her hand resting on her ear as if listening intently, possibly referencing a line from the play "Called Back" which is quoted below the image. This portrait was taken for the publication "The Theatre" and is a fine example of the formal portraiture popular at the time, showcasing West's acting skills in a dramatic pose. The image is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, providing insights into the theatrical world of late 19th-century Britain.
