EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from "The Railleur," a comedy by Andre Mareschal that predates the works of famous French playwright Moliere. The drawing, created by Maurice Sand in 1823 and later engraved in 1873, brings to life the characters and atmosphere of French theatre during this era. In the image, we see a woman adorned in an elaborate costume complete with a strawberry collerette and a whimsical hat. She exudes charm and wit, embodying the essence of the comedic play. The intricate details of her attire, including a mask that adds an air of mystery to her character, showcase the artistry and creativity of both the artist and engraver. As we gaze upon this enchanting portrayal of an imaginary character from centuries past, we are transported to a time when theatre was at its peak in France. The elegance and sophistication depicted in this print serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire artists and audiences alike. Through Jaime Abecasis' lens, this timeless piece of art is preserved for future generations to appreciate and admire. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of French theatre before Moliere's time.
