EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The widow Morin and her daughter Angelique Delaporte at the Conciergerie and punished with being shackled in public for the crime of extortion with violence of signatures, 1812" by Claude Louis Desrais depicts a poignant moment in history. The image showcases the widow Morin, aged 39, and her daughter Angelique Delaporte, aged 16, who have been condemned to public shackle as punishment for their crimes. In this scene, we witness the scandalous nature of their actions as they stand before guards and soldiers within the walls of the Conciergerie. The drawing beautifully captures their anguish and despair while shedding light on the flaws within the French legal system during that era. This cause célèbre not only highlights female involvement in criminal activities but also raises questions about justice and punishment. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they are transported back to a time when law enforcement was harshly imposed on those found guilty. The artist's pen strokes bring life to every detail - from the scales symbolizing justice to the shackles representing their condemnation. This thought-provoking piece serves as a reminder of France's historical past and its complex relationship with crime, punishment, and societal norms. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris' Musee Carnavalet collection, this drawing continues to captivate audiences with its powerful portrayal of human struggle amidst an unforgiving legal system.
