Mlle Figeac as Julie in Philiberte at the Gymnase Dramatique: A Captivating Portrait of 19th Century French Theatre This exquisitely handcolored lithograph by Alexandre Lacauchie, titled "Mlle Figeac as Julie in Philiberte at the Gymnase Dramatique," offers a captivating glimpse into the world of 19th century French theatre. The image depicts Mlle Figeac in the title role of Philiberte, a play that was a great success at the Gymnase Dramatique in Paris during the 1850s. Mlle Figeac, whose real name was Marie-Louise-Julie-Adélaïde Favart, was a celebrated actress of her time. Her performance as Philiberte, a young woman torn between her love for a penniless poet and her duty to marry a wealthy suitor, was praised for its intensity and emotional depth. The handcolored lithograph, produced by Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1860, captures the essence of Mlle Figeac's portrayal of the character. She is depicted in a flowing white gown, her expressive face conveying a sense of inner turmoil and conflict. The intricate details of her costume, from the delicate lace collar to the elaborate train of her gown, are beautifully rendered in the lithograph. After her successful stage career, Mlle Figeac married a rich industrialist and retired from the theatre. She died in 1884, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most beloved and accomplished actresses of her generation. This stunning lithograph serves as a testament to her talent and the enduring allure of 19th century French theatre.
