EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Pauline Anais, a renowned French actress of the 19th century, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as Mariana from the production of "Les Sirenes" at the Theatre des Varietes in 1844. The image, created by the talented illustrator Louis Lasalle, captures the dramatic intensity and beauty of Anais' performance. Mariana, a character from the classic French play by Jean-Francois Marmontel, is a sorceress who lures sailors to their deaths with her enchanting singing. In this image, Anais is dressed in an elegant and flowing costume designed by Alexandre Lacauchie. The intricate details of the fabric, the delicate beading, and the rich colors are brought to life through the meticulous hand-coloring process. Anais' expressive face and posture convey the seductive allure and the hidden danger of her character. This lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. It provides a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theater and the captivating performances of its leading actresses. The image is taken from "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," a collection of theatrical costumes published by Victor Dollet in 1844. This unique and beautiful print is a must-have for any collection of theater history or 19th-century French art.
