EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil portrait captures the enchanting presence of Alice Delysia, the celebrated French actress and singer, as she graced the stage at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London during the tumultuous year of 1918. Born Alice Henriette Lapize, Delysia rose to prominence in the world of entertainment, captivating audiences with her mesmerizing performances in both theatre and music. At the time this portrait was taken, Delysia was starring in the popular production of Carminetta, a role that showcased her extraordinary talent and allure. The portrait was skillfully rendered by Lieutenant W.B. Jemmett, a talented artist who, as reported by the Tatler, held the distinction of being the tallest officer in the entire British army. Standing at an impressive 6 ft 10in, Jemmett's height was a remarkable contrast to the petite figure of Delysia, yet the connection between artist and subject is palpable in this evocative image. The First World War was in full swing during this period, and the entertainment industry played a vital role in providing a much-needed respite for the weary populace. Delysia's performances at the Prince of Wales Theatre offered a momentary escape from the harsh realities of war, and her magnetic stage presence left a lasting impression on all who attended. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the allure of the theatre and the captivating artistry of performers like Alice Delysia provided a beacon of hope and inspiration in the midst of adversity.
