Sheba, M. World’s Greatest Protean Actress M. Sheba. Vienna: J. Weiner, ca. 1910. Full-length portrait of what today would be known as a “quick change” artist, who transformed herself from one character into another – both in costume and in spirit – playing multiple parts in a single performance, switching from one to the next with great rapidity. The dark blue background of the image offsets the elegant feather-accented white gown she wears. 25 x 73". Chips, closed tears, and over-coloring primarily in margins; B+.
