EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting performance of Clarisse Midroy as Maritana in the production of "Don Cesar de Bazan" at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris, 1844. The image, created by Dumanoir and Adolphe d'Ennery, is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie for Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris." Maritana, a gypsy maiden, is depicted in the image with an ethereal expression, her eyes filled with longing and mystery. She wears a stunning, intricately designed costume, complete with a flowing, shimmering gown adorned with gold and jewels, a vibrant red sash, and a crown of flowers in her long, dark hair. The background of the image is filled with the rich colors and textures of the gypsy encampment, adding to the magical and otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. Clarisse Midroy was a renowned French actress of the 19th century, known for her beauty and versatility on the stage. Her portrayal of Maritana in "Don Cesar de Bazan" was a critical and commercial success, and this lithograph captures the essence of her captivating performance. The image is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and a reminder of the enchanting world of the Parisian theatre in the mid-1800s.
