EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Act II of "Figaro's Marriage" featuring the characters Suzanne and the countess Almaviva. The illustration, created by Benjamin Roubaud in 1838, showcases the transformative power of disguise and highlights societal expectations of beauty. In this particular moment, Suzanne presents herself as a young girl to the countess Almaviva. With an air of admiration, she exclaims, "_but see this snot how pretty as a girl. . . will you not be pretty like that?". This exchange reflects both the playful nature of their relationship and the complex dynamics between gender roles during that era. Roubaud's artistic style adds depth to this enchanting image. His use of engraving techniques brings out intricate details such as facial expressions and clothing textures. The delicate features on Suzanne's face evoke innocence while simultaneously challenging traditional notions of femininity. The inclusion of angels in the background further emphasizes the ethereal quality present in this scene. It suggests that beneath their disguises, these characters possess an inner beauty that transcends societal norms. This print is part of Leonard de Selva's private collection and was originally featured on the cover page of "The Provisional Caricature" journal on November 18th, 1838. It serves as a testament to Roubaud's talent for capturing moments filled with intrigue and symbolism within his illustrations.
