EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases Jenny Vertpre, also known as Madame Pierre Carmouche, in her iconic role as Michelette in La Servante Justifiee (The Servant Justified). The image, taken from a production at the Theatre des Varietes in Paris during 1822, was beautifully rendered by lithographer F. Noel, based on an original illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin. Vertpre, a renowned French actress, is depicted in the scene where Michelette, a servant, is being tried for her supposed misdeeds. With a determined expression and a posture exuding confidence, Vertpre embodies the character's unwavering spirit and resilience. The intricate details of her costume, complete with a frilly apron and a lace cap, add to the authenticity and charm of the portrait. The supporting cast, including Francoise Vausgien as Madame, Fanny Lavigne as Madame La Marquise, Marin as the Judge, and an unidentified actor as the Prosecutor, can also be seen in the background, adding depth and context to the scene. This image, taken from the collection Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles (Portraits of Actors and Actresses in Different Roles), is a testament to the talent and artistry of the performers of the time and a valuable historical record of French theater in the early 19th century.
