Mlle. Rose Dupuis as Madame Dorval in La Mere Rivale: A Captivating Portrayal of Jealousy and Revenge This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the intensity and drama of Mlle. Rose Dupuis's performance as Madame Dorval in La Mere Rivale, a classic play by Casimir Bonjour, which premiered at the Theatre Francais in Paris in 1825. The image, created by F. Noel after an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, vividly portrays the complex emotions of the character as she grapples with jealousy and revenge. Madame Dorval, a possessive and vengeful mother, is the central figure in this tragic tale of love and betrayal. In the play, she suspects her husband of having an affair with her own daughter, and her jealousy drives her to plot a series of manipulations and deceit. The image of Mlle. Dupuis as Madame Dorval conveys the depth of her emotions, with her piercing gaze and clenched fist, as she vows to protect her honor and avenge her perceived wrongs. The intricately detailed handcolouring of the lithograph adds to the dramatic effect, highlighting the rich textures of Madame Dorval's elaborate costume and the dimly lit, theatrical setting. This portrait offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre and the powerful performances of its leading actresses. Mlle. Rose Dupuis was a renowned actress of her time, known for her versatility and intensity on stage. Her portrayal of Madame Dorval in La Mere Rivale was one of her most memorable roles, earning her critical acclaim and cementing her place in the annals of French theatre history.
