EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Affaire des Poisons" takes us back to the dark underbelly of 17th-century France. The image depicts Catherine Deshayes, also known as La Voisin, a notorious figure in the infamous Affaire des Poisons. La Voisin was a woman shrouded in mystery and danger, earning her nickname due to her involvement in the production and distribution of poisonous substances. In this haunting portrait, she is shown undergoing the harrowing ordeal known as the question of water—a method used during interrogations where water was forced into the suspect's mouth until they confessed or drowned. The artist masterfully captures Deshayes' anguish and fear through intricate details etched onto paper. Her eyes betray a mixture of defiance and despair as she faces an uncertain fate.
