EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases the Belgian actress Eugenie Doche in the role of Mathilde from the Vaudeville play "Le Gant et l'Éventail" (The Fan and the Glove), written by Louis-Charles Caigniez and Victor-Joseph Étienne de Jouy. The image, published in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris in 1846, was based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie. Eugenie Doche (1816-1885) was a renowned Belgian actress who graced the stages of Parisian theaters during the mid-19th century. In this production, she donned the elegant and sophisticated costume designed by Bayard and Sauvage, which included a voluminous gown adorned with intricate floral patterns and a delicate fan. The expression on her face conveys a sense of deep emotion, as if she is lost in thought or contemplating a difficult decision. The play "Le Gant et l'Éventail" was a popular success during its time, and Doche's performance as Mathilde was highly praised by critics and audiences alike. The image captures the essence of her talent and the allure of the theatrical world during the Romantic era in Europe. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the artistry of the time, with the meticulous attention to detail in the hand-coloring bringing the image to life. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the Parisian theaters of the mid-19th century and allowing us to witness the beauty and elegance of Eugenie Doche's performance as Mathilde in "Le Gant et l'Éventail.
