EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned French actress Mademoiselle Rachel in her iconic role as Roxane in Jean Racine's tragic play, Bajazet. The lithograph, created by Achille Deveria, beautifully captures the essence of this powerful character and transports us to the Ottoman harem where the story unfolds. Mademoiselle Rachel's portrayal of Roxane is nothing short of mesmerizing. Her intense gaze and regal posture exude a sense of strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Dressed in an exquisite oriental gown, she embodies the allure and mystery associated with concubines from that era. The artist skillfully uses color to enhance the drama of this scene. Vibrant hues bring life to every detail - from Rachel's expressive face to the intricate patterns on her dress. This attention to detail creates a visual feast for our eyes. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image also serves as a testament to Mademoiselle Rachel's talent as an actress during her time. Known for her ability to captivate audiences with both tragedy and comedy, she was celebrated as one of France's greatest performers. As we admire this print, we are reminded not only of Mademoiselle Rachel's incredible acting prowess but also of Jean Racine's timeless work that continues to resonate with audiences today. It is through art like this that we can appreciate and celebrate the rich cultural heritage left behind by these talented individuals.
