EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the renowned French actress, Mlle Rachel, in her mesmerizing portrayal of Roxanne for the play "Bajazet" by Jean Racine. Painted by an anonymous artist from the 19th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of Rachel's talent and beauty. Dressed in a stunning oriental costume, Rachel embodies the character of Roxanne with grace and allure. The intricate embroidery on her attire adds a touch of opulence to her ensemble, while her headdress and turban exude an air of exoticism. Adorned with exquisite jewelry including earrings and a necklace, she epitomizes elegance and sophistication. Rachel's expressive eyes draw you into the painting as she gazes off into the distance, perhaps contemplating her role within an Ottoman harem. Her serene yet enigmatic expression leaves us wondering about Roxanne's fate in this tragic tale. Acting with the prestigious Comédie-Française from 1838 to 1849, Mlle Rachel was celebrated for her exceptional performances in both tragedy and comedy. This particular image captures one of her most memorable roles during that period. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork offers us a glimpse into both historical theater culture and Orientalist influences prevalent at that time. It serves as a testament to Mlle Rachel's immense talent as well as highlighting the artistic prowess of French painters during this era.
