EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Marie Daubrun, the mistress of renowned poet Charles Baudelaire in 1854. Captured by the talented photographer Etienne Carjat, this image is now housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. Marie Daubrun was affectionately referred to as "La Belle aux cheveux d'or" (The Beauty with Golden Hair) by Baudelaire himself. In this portrait, her hair cascades elegantly around her face, emphasizing her allure and beauty. Her attire exudes sophistication and femininity, with a stunning black dress that perfectly complements her figure. As an actress and muse to Baudelaire, Marie Daubrun embodied both inspiration and imagination for the literary world of 19th-century France. This photograph captures not only her physical beauty but also hints at the allegorical nature of her role in Baudelaire's poetry. The image reveals a woman who possesses confidence and grace while holding a fan delicately in one hand. The composition highlights every detail - from her expressive eyes to the subtle curves of her face - creating an intimate connection between viewer and subject. This print offers a glimpse into a fascinating era of French literature and artistry while celebrating the timeless elegance of Marie Daubrun herself. It serves as a testament to both Carjat's skill behind the lens and Marie's enduring legacy as an influential figure
