EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie-Louise Derval: A French Actress's Encounter with Imperial Russia Marie-Louise Derval (1882-1961), an accomplished French actress, graced the stages of Parisian theatres and later ventured into the burgeoning world of silent film. In this photograph, taken circa 1910, Derval is depicted in an elegant Russian costume, a testament to her versatility and adaptability as an artist. The image reveals Derval's regal bearing and striking features, her piercing gaze fixed on the camera lens. She wears an ornate headdress adorned with pearls and other precious stones, reminiscent of the opulence and grandeur of the Russian imperial court. The intricately designed dress, with its flowing lines and rich fabrics, adds to the overall impression of luxury and sophistication. At the time, Derval was likely in Russia for a theatrical tour, as France and Russia enjoyed a rich cultural exchange during the early 20th century. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in her career, as she was presented to the Czar and the Russian nobility. The image not only showcases Derval's talent and allure but also offers a glimpse into the world of international theatre and diplomacy during an era of artistic and political transformation. Marie-Louise Derval's career spanned over five decades, and she left an indelible mark on the French and international stages. This photograph serves as a reminder of her remarkable talent and the enduring allure of the performing arts.
