EDITORS COMMENTS
This pochoir print, titled "Mademoiselle de Maupin" transports us to a world of elegance and intrigue. Created by the talented artist Georges Barbier in 1922, this artwork is part of his series "Personages de Comedie". The image features a striking figure dressed in an exquisite fancy dress costume, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian style. The mysterious character stands next to an ornate pillar, adding to the air of sophistication and grandeur. With their face partially hidden behind a delicate mask, they exude an aura of secrecy and allure. As we delve deeper into the story behind this print, we discover that Mademoiselle de Maupin was actually Julie d'Aubigny (1673-1707), a remarkable woman who defied societal norms by dressing as a man. Not only was she renowned for her exceptional talent as an opera singer but also for her skill with a sword. This artwork captures the essence of Mademoiselle de Maupin's dual identity - both feminine and masculine - as well as her audacious spirit. It invites us to ponder themes such as disguise, incognito meetings, and gender fluidity prevalent during that era. Barbier's meticulous attention to detail shines through in every brushstroke, showcasing his mastery as an illustrator. This piece serves not only as a beautiful work of art but also offers us glimpses into French culture and history. Whether displayed on its own or among other works from
