EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic "Portrait of Maurice Sand" by the French School in the 19th century. The portrait, measuring 37.5x27.5 cm, is housed in the Musee de la Vie Romantique in Paris, France. Originally believed to depict George Sand disguised as a man, it was later discovered that this striking figure is actually Maurice Sand himself. Maurice, son of the renowned female writer George Sand (Amandine Aurore Lucile Dudevant), was not only a writer but also an accomplished painter. The portrait exudes an air of androgyny with Maurice donning a top hat and displaying both masculine and feminine qualities. This ambiguity adds depth to his character, reflecting the fluidity of gender roles during the Romantic era. Initially attributed to Eugene Delacroix before being credited to Thomas Couture, this masterpiece now resides under the care of Musee Carnavalet in Paris on deposit at Musee de la Vie Romantique. Through this mesmerizing image captured by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanimages. com, we are transported back in time to witness Maurice Sand's unique persona - a talented artist who defied societal norms while leaving an indelible mark on literature and art alike.
