EDITORS COMMENTS
Claude Louis Monrose Sr., a renowned French actor of the 19th century, is depicted in this striking handcoloured lithograph as Mascarille in Molière's classic play, L'Étourdi, or The Miser. The image, created by the lithographer F. Noel after an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, was published in Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles in 1825. Monrose's portrayal of Mascarille, a miserly character in the play, is a testament to his exceptional acting skills. He masterfully conveys the character's greed and obsession with wealth through his expressive facial features and body language. The intricate details of Monrose's stage costume, complete with a fur-lined cloak and a top hat, further enhance the authenticity of the image. The theatre backdrop and the ornate frame add to the overall elegance and sophistication of the print. This image offers a glimpse into the world of French theatre during the early 19th century and the remarkable talent of Claude Louis Monrose Sr. as a leading actor of his time.
