Grafin Dubarry, (1933). Portrait of Jeanne Bécu, comtesse Du Barry (1743-1793), the last Maîtresse-en-titre of Louis XV of France, and one of the victims of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. This print is part of 'Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte', a remarkable book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures capturing influential figures from the past four centuries. Created in Germany in 1933, this image beautifully showcases the elegance and allure that defined aristocracy in both the 18th century and early 20th century. Jeanne Bécu, famously known as Madame Du Barry, was a woman who captivated hearts with her beauty and charm. As mistress to King Louis XV, she held immense power and influence within French society. However, her fate took a tragic turn during the tumultuous times of revolution when she became one of its unfortunate casualties. In this oval-shaped portrait miniature, Jeanne Beçu exudes grace as she gazes into eternity. Her elaborate dress adorned with feathers reflects her status as an esteemed lady while symbolizing opulence and luxury associated with aristocratic life. The unknown creator skillfully captures every intricate detail - from her delicate features to the vibrant colors that bring this historical figure back to life. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of Jeanne's personal tragedy but also highlights how political upheaval can impact even those at the highest echelons.
