EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts the renowned Madame de La Fayette, a prominent figure in French history. The 19th-century artwork showcases her elegance and poise, capturing the essence of this influential woman. Madame de La Fayette was an esteemed French writer and aristocrat who lived during the 17th century. She is best known for her novel "La Princesse de Clèves" which is considered one of the earliest examples of psychological fiction. This literary masterpiece explores themes of love, duty, and personal freedom within the confines of high society. The artist behind this enchanting portrait remains unknown but has skillfully captured Madame de La Fayette's gracefulness and intelligence. Her expressive eyes seem to hold countless untold stories, while her regal attire reflects her status as a celebrated celebrity in French society. This print is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for "Le Plutarque Francais" by Ed Mennechet in Crapelet between 1837-1841. It serves as a testament to Madame de La Fayette's enduring legacy and contribution to French culture. As we gaze upon this exquisite engraving, we are reminded not only of Madame de La Fayette's significant impact on literature but also her lasting influence on France itself.
