EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne Demerson, a renowned French actress of the 19th century, is captured in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as she portrays the character Liselle in Jean-Claude Vial's production of Le Mari et l'Amant at the Theatre Francais in 1821. The intricately detailed image, produced by F. Noel after an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, showcases Demerson's captivating stage presence and exquisite costume design. Le Mari et l'Amant, a play by Eugène Scribe and Mélesville, tells the story of a wife, Liselle, who must choose between her husband and her lover. The complex emotional depth of the character is masterfully conveyed by Demerson in this image. Her expressive eyes and delicate features convey a sense of inner turmoil and determination, while her elegant and sophisticated costume adds to the overall allure of the portrait. The Theatre Francais, a prestigious institution for French theatre, was known for its high-quality productions and talented actors. Demerson, a leading lady of the theatre, was a regular performer there and was celebrated for her versatility and ability to bring depth and nuance to her characters. This image, taken from the collection Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles, is a testament to her enduring legacy and the impact she had on the French stage. The handcoloured lithograph, produced by F. Noel, is a beautiful and intricate work of art in its own right. The use of vibrant colours and fine details bring the image to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of theatre history or French cultural heritage.
