Portret van Madame Tousez als Baronne de Vieuxbois in La Fausse Agnès 1823 - 1824

Alexandre-Marie Colin's 1823-1824 lithograph "Portret van Madame Tousez als Baronne de Vieuxbois in La Fausse Agnès" depicts a woman in a theatrical costume, likely from a performance of the play "La Fausse Agnès." Tousez, a prominent actress of the time, is portrayed in a grand, elaborate gown with a headdress and fan, reflecting the style of the era. The detailed depiction of the costume, including its textures and embellishments, showcases Colin's skill as a portraitist and lithographer. The image is a valuable historical record of theatrical costuming and fashion in 19th-century France, offering insight into the world of performance during that period.
