EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Grafin Dubarry, also known as Jeanne Becu, comtesse du Barry. Born in 1743, she rose to become the last Maitresse-en-titre of Louis XV of France during the 18th century. However, her life took a tragic turn during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror. In this image captured in 1934 by Eckstein-Halpaus from Die Groszen der Weltgelchichte, we see a seated German woman holding a delicate cup and saucer. The painting exudes an air of elegance and poise that was characteristic of Grafin Dubarry herself. Despite being painted centuries ago, her portrait still resonates with viewers today. Grafin Dubarry's story is one filled with intrigue and tragedy. As a courtesan turned mistress to King Louis XV, she enjoyed wealth and influence but ultimately fell victim to the tumultuous times brought about by revolution. Her fate serves as a reminder of the fragility of power and privilege. The print collector has preserved this piece as part of their collection29 at Eckstein Halpaus GmbH. It stands as both an artistic representation and historical documentation capturing an era when women like Grafin Dubarry played significant roles in shaping European history.
