EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned French actress, Clarisse Midroy, in her iconic role as Pauline in Le Docteur Noir, a play by Anicet Bourgeoise, which premiered at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris in 1846. The image, taken from Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, is an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie. Clarisse Midroy (1818-1891) was a celebrated actress of the Romantic era, known for her expressive and emotional performances. In Le Docteur Noir, she portrayed Pauline, a character torn between her love for the titular doctor, who is actually a murderer, and her duty to protect her family. Midroy's portrayal of Pauline was widely acclaimed, and her performance is said to have left audiences in a state of suspense and excitement. The lithograph beautifully captures the intensity and drama of Midroy's performance. Pauline is depicted with a determined expression on her face, her hands clenched in a gesture of resolve. She is dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, with a shawl draped around her shoulders, adding to the overall sense of melancholy and introspection. The intricate details of the handcolouring bring the image to life, making it a stunning representation of the theatrical art of the time. Le Docteur Noir was a popular play in the mid-19th century, and Midroy's performance as Pauline was a major reason for its success. This lithograph is a testament to her talent and the enduring appeal of the play. It is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the world of French theatre during the Romantic era and the extraordinary talent of one of its most beloved actresses.
