EDITORS COMMENTS
Charlotte Tousez, a renowned French actress of the 19th century, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as Baronne de Vieuxbois in the play "La Fausse Agnes" by Nericault Destouches. The image, produced by F. Noel after an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, was published in the collection "Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles" in 1825. Tousez, born Charlotte Zoe Regnier, was a versatile actress who excelled in both tragic and comic roles. In "La Fausse Agnes," she portrayed the character of Baronne de Vieuxbois, a wealthy and proud noblewoman who is deceived by her husband's supposed infidelity. The play, a classic example of French comedy, explores themes of jealousy, deception, and forgiveness. The lithograph captures the essence of Tousez's portrayal of Baronne de Vieuxbois, with her regal posture, piercing gaze, and elegant attire. The intricate details of her costume, from the delicate lace collar to the rich fabric of her gown, are beautifully rendered in the handcolouring. The background, with its ornate furnishings and grand architecture, further emphasizes the opulence and sophistication of the character. Alexandre-Marie Colin's illustration, which served as the basis for the lithograph, was likely created during a performance of "La Fausse Agnes" at the Théâtre Français in Paris. The image offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre and the art of acting during this period. Overall, this handcoloured lithograph of Charlotte Tousez as Baronne de Vieuxbois is a testament to her talent and the enduring appeal of "La Fausse Agnes." It remains a valuable historical record of both the actress and the play, as well as a beautiful work of art in its own right.
