EDITORS COMMENTS
La Belle Espagnole, or La Doublure de Madame Tallien (1773-1835) captures the essence of beauty and elegance during the French Revolution. This hand-coloured etching, published by Hannah Humphrey in 1796, showcases James Gillray's artistic brilliance in creating a captivating portrait. The subject of this print is none other than Theresa, the daughter of the governor of the Royal Bank of Spain. Dressed in an empire line gown with intricate details and adorned with exquisite jewelry, she exudes grace and sophistication. Her olive skin complements her ringlets and curls that cascade down her shoulders. This caricature highlights Theresa's half-caste heritage as well as her association with Madame Tallien, who was known for her influential role during the revolution. The shawl draped over Theresa's arm adds a touch of Spanish flair to her ensemble. Gillray masterfully captures both fashion trends and political undertones in this engraving. Through his artistry, he immortalizes not only Theresa's beauty but also reflects on the turbulent times that surrounded them. Displayed here courtesy of New College, Oxford, this print serves as a testament to Gillray's talent and provides us with a glimpse into the world of high society during one of history's most transformative periods.
