Posted 1906, really gorgeous treatment of a Leopold Reutlinger portrait of Mlle. Robinne. This one makes use of that early "green screen" technique in which the portrait image was overlaid or underlaid against a contrasting solid or in this case decorative background of sometimes ground, colored glass, or metallic paint. Here we have a fine webbing of metallic copper paint, the gleam of which is not done any real justice by our scans, but you get the idea at least.
Exquisitely beautiful Gabrielle Robinne (1886-1980), was made an officer in the French Legion of Honor for her contributions in the Arts.
She was a star of the stage, and also of silent films, and then the talkies as well, her career spanning some sixty years.
A lovely, posted, card. Please examine our high res scans for detail.
