EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mme de Stael" offers a glimpse into the life and persona of Anne Louise-Germaine Necker, Baronne de Stael-Holstein. Published in 1833 as part of The Gallery of Portraits, this print showcases the elegance and intellect that defined Mme de Stael. Seated gracefully with a turban adorning her head, Mme de Stael exudes an air of confidence and sophistication. Her half-length portrait captures her commanding presence as she gazes thoughtfully into the distance. The ivy leaf delicately placed on her lapel symbolizes resilience and intellectual growth - qualities that were undoubtedly characteristic of this remarkable French woman. As an esteemed writer and influential figure in literary circles, Mme de Stael's salon was frequented by renowned intellectuals such as Schlegel and Byron. However, her outspoken nature led to exile under Napoleon's rule. Despite these challenges, she remained steadfast in championing freedom of expression through her writings. This engraving not only immortalizes Mme de Stael but also serves as a testament to the power of female intellect during a time when women's voices were often silenced or overlooked. Through its intricate details and masterful execution by the English School artist from the 19th century, this print invites us to appreciate both the beauty and brilliance embodied by Mme de Stael - a true iconoclast who defied societal norms with grace and determination.
