EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Marie de Chilly, a renowned French actor of the 19th century, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as he portrays the title role in the play "La Duchesse de Marsan" at the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique in Paris. The image, created by Dennery, is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie and was published in Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris" in 1847. Charles Marie de Chilly (1802-1873) was a versatile actor who excelled in both tragic and comic roles. In "La Duchesse de Marsan," he played the titular character, a noblewoman who disguises herself as a man to avenge her husband's death. The play, which was written by Louis-Charles Caigniez and first performed in 1838, was a great success and solidified de Chilly's reputation as a leading actor of the time. The lithograph captures the intensity and drama of de Chilly's performance, with his expressive face and detailed costume bringing the character to life. The intricately designed costume, which includes a velvet doublet, lace ruff, and feathered hat, reflects the opulence and elegance of the period. The handcolouring adds depth and richness to the image, making it a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre. This lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the artists and craftsmen involved in its creation, as well as the enduring appeal of live theatre and the performances of its talented actors.
