EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait that captures the elegance and allure of Jeanne Becu, Comtesse Du Barry. The print showcases her in a jacket adorned with intricate lace collar, exuding sophistication and refinement. Jeanne Becu was not only known for her beauty but also for being the last Maitresse-en-titre (chief mistress) of King Louis XV of France. However, her life took a tragic turn during the French Revolution when she became one of its victims during the Reign of Terror. This engraving by Jacques Firmin Beauvarlet beautifully reproduces an original painting by Francois Hubert Drouais. It is featured in "La Revue De L'Art Ancien et Moderne". Volume XIV from July-December 1903, offering us a glimpse into both historical artistry and literature. The oval-shaped portrait highlights Madame La Comtesse's delicate features and perfectly coiffed hair, showcasing the attention to detail given by both Drouais and Beauvarlet. The button details on her suit add an extra touch of authenticity to this exquisite piece. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, we are transported back to 18th-century France - a time filled with opulence yet overshadowed by political turmoil. This artwork serves as a reminder of both the beauty and tragedy that can be found within history's pages.
