Pauline Dejazet in the Role of La Marquise de Carabas, 1843: A Stunning Portrayal of Dramatic Elegance This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the captivating performance of Pauline Dejazet as La Marquise de Carabas in the Theatre du Palais Royal production of 1843. The image, created by Brazier and Simonnin after an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie for Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of 19th-century Paris. Pauline Dejazet (1811-1884) was a renowned French actress who graced the stages of Parisian theatres with her exceptional talent and magnetic presence. In this role, she embodied the essence of La Marquise de Carabas, a complex and enigmatic character from the play "Le Capitaine de Quinze-Vingts" by Louis-Charles Caigniez. The intricate stage costume, designed to reflect her aristocratic status and mysterious allure, is beautifully rendered in this lithograph. The Theatre du Palais Royal, a historic Parisian theatre, was renowned for its high-quality productions and innovative staging techniques. The theatre's productions often featured elaborate costumes and sets, which were meticulously documented and disseminated through publications like Galerie Dramatique. This lithograph offers a fascinating insight into the visual aesthetics of the time and the artistry of Pauline Dejazet's performance. The intricate details of the Marquise's costume, from the opulent fabric to the delicate embroidery, are brought to life through the skillful hand-colouring technique. The overall effect is a striking and evocative image that transports us to the world of 19th-century Parisian theatre and the mesmerizing performance of Pauline Dejazet as La Marquise de Carabas.
