EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Grace Dalrymple Elliott, a remarkable Scottish socialite and courtesan who lived from 1758 to 1823. In this image captured in 1906, we catch a glimpse of her intriguing life during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution. Grace resided in Paris at that time and was famously known as the mistress of the Duke of Orleans, cousin to King Louis XVI. Her story takes an extraordinary turn when she finds herself arrested and facing execution by guillotine. However, fate intervened with the death of Robespierre, leading to her release from captivity. Later on, Grace penned down her gripping experiences in an autobiographical account titled "Ma Vie Sous La Revolution" which was published in 1859. The portrait itself portrays a lady adorned with a wig characteristic of the era and dressed elegantly in accordance with her status as a socialite. Her pale complexion adds an air of mystery surrounding her persona. The oval frame captures not only her physical beauty but also hints at the resilience and strength she possessed amidst such turbulent times. This photograph is sourced from The Connoisseur magazine's volume XVI dated back to 1906. It serves as both a historical artifact and testament to Grace Dalrymple Elliott's indomitable spirit that defied societal norms while navigating through treacherous political landscapes.
