EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the renowned French actor Eugène Grailly in the title role of Charles II in the play "Don Cesar de Bazan," produced at the Théâtre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris during 1844. The production was a collaboration between Dumanoir and Adolphe d'Ennery, with Alexandre Lacauchie providing the illustration for Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris. Eugène Grailly (1803-1866) was a celebrated actor of the French stage, known for his versatility and ability to embody a wide range of characters. In this portrayal of Charles II, King of Spain from 1665 to 1700, Grailly exudes regal presence and authority. The hand-colored lithograph, created by an unknown artist, masterfully captures the intricate details of Grailly's elaborate costume, complete with a richly embroidered doublet, voluminous breeches, and an ornate ruff at the neck. "Don Cesar de Bazan" is a historical play that tells the story of the titular character, a brave and noble knight in the service of King Charles II. The play was a popular success during the 19th century and showcased the acting talents of many renowned French actors, including Eugène Grailly. This stunning lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the production and the remarkable skill of the actors and artists involved. The Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris was a series of lithographs that documented the costumes and stage designs of various theatrical productions in Paris during the 19th century. This particular lithograph, with its intricate detail and beautiful coloration, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of French theater during this period.
