EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Isabelle de Charriere, also known as Belle de Zuylen, a prominent woman of letters and writer in the 18th century. Created by Maurice Quentin de la Tour in 1766, this pastel on paper artwork beautifully captures her elegance and intellect. Isabelle de Charriere was not only a talented author but also an influential figure in French literature. Her works explored themes of love, society, and women's rights, challenging the norms of her time. As a female writer during an era dominated by men, she defied societal expectations and left a lasting impact on the literary world. In this portrait, Isabelle exudes confidence with her piercing gaze and poised demeanor. The artist skillfully portrays her intelligence through subtle details such as the way she holds a quill pen—a symbol of her writing prowess. The soft pastel colors add depth to the composition while highlighting Isabelle's refined features. Now housed at Musee Antoine Lecuyer in Saint-Quentin, France, this print allows us to appreciate both Isabelle de Charriere's contribution to literature and Maurice Quentin de la Tour's artistic talent. It serves as a reminder that creativity knows no boundaries or gender restrictions—inspiring future generations to pursue their passions fearlessly just like Isabelle did centuries ago.
