Henriette de Coligny, Comtesse de la Suze: A Portrait of Literary Elegance and Grace This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Henriette de Coligny, Comtesse de la Suze (1618-1673), a renowned French writer and poet of the seventeenth century. The image is based on a contemporary print from Le Bibliophile Jacob, a prestigious French publishing house known for its historical costumes series, 'Costumes Historiques de la France,' published in 1852. Born into a noble family, Henriette de Coligny was a woman of remarkable intellect and talent. She began writing poetry at a young age and was known for her elegant and refined style. Her works were widely admired and published during her lifetime, making her a celebrated figure in French literary circles. In this portrait, the Comtesse de la Suze is depicted wearing the fashionable attire of the time. Her voluminous dress, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the period. Her delicate white collar and cuffs, as well as her elaborate hairstyle, further emphasize her refined and sophisticated appearance. The Comtesse de la Suze's expressive face, with its gentle features and thoughtful expression, conveys a sense of intelligence and introspection. Her piercing gaze, fixed on an unseen horizon, suggests a deep and contemplative nature. This beautiful lithograph is a precious reminder of the literary and artistic achievements of Henriette de Coligny, Comtesse de la Suze, and the rich cultural heritage of seventeenth-century France. It invites us to appreciate the elegance, grace, and intellectual depth of a remarkable woman who continues to inspire and captivate us today.
