EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts the elegant and esteemed Madame de Lafayette, a prominent figure in French literature during the 17th century. Engraved by Geille and based on an original work by Friedrich Bouterwek, this print beautifully captures the essence of Madame de Lafayette's grace and intellect. Madame de Lafayette, also known as Marie Madeleine Pioche de Laverge, is best remembered for her groundbreaking novel "La Princesse de Cleves". As one of the first historical novels written by a female author, it solidified her place in literary history. In this portrait, she exudes confidence and sophistication while seated on a bench adorned with period costume. Her ringlet curls cascade delicately around her face, framing features that reflect both wisdom and beauty. A pearl necklace graces her neck, symbolizing refinement and elegance. This image showcases not only her status as a writer but also highlights her role as a comtesse within high society. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings out the depth of character that made Madame de Lafayette such an influential literary figure. Whether you are captivated by historical novels or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print serves as a timeless tribute to one of France's most celebrated female writers.
