This lithograph showcases the renowned French actress Augustine-Celestine Schriwaneck in the title role of Catherine from the Vaudeville play "Le Philtre Champenois" by Melesville and Brazier, which was performed at the Theatre du Palais Royal in 1846. Schriwaneck's expressive face and elegant posture are on full display in this hand-colored illustration, which was produced by the esteemed printmakers Alexandre Lacauchie, Victor Dollet, Louis Lasalle, and Galerie Dramatique.
