EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the enchanting beauty and intellectual brilliance of Alexandrine Sophie Bawr, Baroness de St. Simon (1773-1860). Born into a German-French noble family, Alexandrine was a prolific writer whose works left an indelible mark on French literature and history. Born on July 25, 1773, in Strasbourg, Alexandrine was the daughter of a French father and a German mother. She was educated at home by private tutors and showed an early aptitude for writing. Her first novel, "Pauline and Mathilde," was published in 1804 and was an instant success. The novel, which explored the themes of love, morality, and the role of women in society, established Alexandrine as a leading figure in French literature. Throughout her career, Alexandrine wrote novels, essays, and memoirs that reflected her keen observations of society and her deep understanding of human nature. Her works were characterized by their psychological insight, literary elegance, and moral depth. Alexandrine's personal life was as fascinating as her literary accomplishments. She was married twice, first to a French aristocrat and later to a German baron. Her second marriage, to Baron de St. Simon, was a passionate and tumultuous affair that provided material for some of her most famous works. Despite her success, Alexandrine faced many challenges in her career. She was criticized by some for her frank portrayals of sexuality and her unconventional views on women's roles in society. But she remained true to her artistic vision and continued to write until her death on March 13, 1860. This portrait, taken in the early 19th century, captures the essence of Alexandrine's beauty and intellect. With her piercing gaze and elegant attire, she exudes an air of sophistication and intelligence that continues to captivate readers and scholars alike. Alexandrine Sophie Bawr, Baroness de St. Simon, remains an enduring figure in French literature and a testament to the power of the written word.
