EDITORS COMMENTS
La Duchesse de Metz" portrayed by the renowned French actress Mlle. Anne Dussert in the comedy "La Dame des Belles Cousines" (The Lady of the Beautiful Cousins) at the Theatre du Vaudeville in Paris, 1823. This handcoloured lithograph, created by F. Noel after an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, showcases Mlle. Dussert's exquisite beauty and regal presence as the Duchess. Anne Dussert (1795-1866) was a celebrated actress of the Romantic era in France, known for her exceptional talent and versatility on stage. In this production, she embodied the character of the Duchesse de Metz, a proud and haughty noblewoman, who, along with her sister, plots to marry their cousins for their wealth. The intricately detailed lithograph captures the essence of the character's opulence and sophistication, with the Duchess adorned in an elegant gown, adorned with jewels, and a regal headdress. The rich colours and meticulous shading bring the image to life, transporting the viewer to the grandeur of the Theatre du Vaudeville during the early 19th century. Alexandre-Marie Colin's illustration, which served as the basis for this lithograph, was part of the extensive collection "Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans differents roles" (Portraits of Actors and Actresses in Different Roles), published by F. Noel in Paris in 1825. This collection was a popular and valuable resource for theatre enthusiasts, providing a visual record of the most famous actors and actresses of the time and their iconic performances. Today, this beautiful lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Mlle. Anne Dussert and her remarkable portrayal of the Duchesse de Metz in "La Dame des Belles Cousines." It offers a glimpse into the world of French theatre during the Romantic era, showcasing the artistry and elegance of the time.
