EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Judith, or Julie Bernat, as Isabelle in La Grisette de Qualité at the Théâtre des Folies Dramatiques in 1844, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph. The image, created by Louis Lasalle after an original illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie for Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris, captures the essence of the masquerade ball scene from the popular play. Isabelle, played by Mlle. Judith, is seen wearing an elegant and intricately designed mask, her eyes peering out curiously at the festivities around her. The mask, with its delicate feathers and beads, adds an air of mystery and allure to her character. Her costume, a fashionable gown adorned with sequins and lace, complements the mask perfectly, making her a vision of beauty and sophistication among the revelers. The Théâtre des Folies Dramatiques was known for its elaborate productions and innovative staging, and La Grisette de Qualité was no exception. The masquerade ball scene was a highlight of the play, and Mlle. Judith's portrayal of Isabelle was widely praised by critics and audiences alike. This handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, providing a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre and the captivating performances of its stars. The intricate details of Mlle. Judith's mask and costume, as well as the lively atmosphere of the ball, make this image a true treasure for anyone interested in the history of theatre and the art of mask-making.
