This chromolithograph print, "Mme. de Stael", is part of the "Leaders" series of collectible cards issued by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1888. The image portrays the prominent French writer and philosopher, Anne Louise Germaine de Staël, in a romanticized depiction, wearing a turban and gazing directly at the viewer. The artwork, typical of the aesthetic taste of the late 19th century, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
