EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the remarkable talent of Mlle. Emilie Leverd as Celimene in Molière's classic play, Le Misanthrope, performed at the Theatre Francais in Paris during the year 1808. The image, created by the skilled hands of F. Noel after an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, offers a striking portrayal of Leverd's radiant beauty and theatrical prowess. Emilie Leverd was a versatile artist who excelled both on the dance floor and the stage. In this production of Le Misanthrope, she masterfully brought Celimene to life, a character known for her wit, charm, and ability to manipulate those around her. The intricate details of her costume, from the elegant bodice to the flowing skirt, are expertly captured in this lithograph, adding to the overall allure of the scene. Alexandre-Marie Colin's original illustration, upon which this lithograph is based, was part of the extensive collection "Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles," published by F. Noel in Paris in 1825. This collection was a testament to the artistry and dedication of the actors and actresses of the time, providing a visual record of their performances for future generations. The delicate handcolouring of this lithograph adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art in its own right. This piece not only showcases the talent of Mlle. Emilie Leverd as Celimene but also highlights the collaborative efforts of F. Noel, Alexandre-Marie Colin, and the Theatre Francais in preserving the memories of the past through their artistic creations.
