EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle Naptal Arnauld, a renowned French actress of the 19th century, is captured in this stunning handcoloured lithograph titled "Echec et Mat," which translates to "Checkmate" in English. The image, created by Octave Feuillet and Paul Bocage in 1846, depicts Mlle Arnauld in a dramatic pose as she delivers a powerful performance on the stage of the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris. The lithograph is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, which was originally featured in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. The intricate details of Mlle Arnauld's costume and the elaborate set design are beautifully rendered in this exquisite work of art. Mlle Arnauld, whose real name was Gabrielle Planat, was known for her exceptional talent and captivating stage presence. She made her debut at the Comédie-Française in 1834 and quickly rose to fame with her performances in various plays. Her portrayal of the character in "Echec et Mat" is said to have been particularly memorable, earning her critical acclaim and the admiration of her audiences. The title of the lithograph refers to a famous line from the play, which Mlle Arnauld's character delivers as she triumphantly declares victory over her opponent. The image captures the intensity and drama of the moment, making it a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre and the remarkable career of Mlle Naptal Arnauld.
