Ecole FRANÇAISE, du XIXème siècle - Lot 81
Ecole FRANÇAISE, du XIXème siècle * Portrait of Alfred de Vigny Miniature on ivory in a brass frame with a hair monogram "MD" on the back. This monogram is certainly that of Marie Dorval, the poet's mistress. Diam 6,5 cm (missing and accidents) It is in 1829 that Alfred de Vigny, an illustrious poet and literary figure, met Marie Dorval, a great actress: she became his muse and he his lover. Very quickly their relationship of love and passion turns into violent disputes that will lead this star couple of the nineteenth century to their breakup.
