EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Portrait of George Sand, also known as Aurore Dupin or Baronne Dudevant. Taken around 1840 by Alcide Joseph Lorentz for "Le Charivari" this image captures Sand's rebellious spirit and unconventional style. In the portrait, George Sand confidently dons trousers and a redingote, challenging societal norms of her time. Her choice to embrace masculine attire was a bold statement that defied gender expectations and paved the way for future generations of women seeking liberation. Sand's piercing gaze suggests both intelligence and determination, while she holds a cigar in her hand, symbolizing her independence and defiance against traditional feminine roles. The inclusion of tobacco further emphasizes her nonconformity to societal standards. Lorentz masterfully captures every detail with his skilled drawing technique, highlighting Sand's strong features and capturing the essence of her personality. This photograph is an important historical artifact that represents not only feminism but also the power of self-expression through fashion. Preserved in the Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris, this remarkable portrait serves as a reminder of George Sand's influential role in shaping women's rights movements during the 19th century. Leonard de Selva has expertly reproduced this piece to ensure its timeless beauty continues to inspire generations to come.
