COLETTE - Lot 158
COLETTE Portrait, 1950s. Photograph, vintage silver print, label, stamps (including various publication dates from 1952 to 1992), and annotated on the back. 15.5 x 11.2 cm, including white margins. A small corner is torn. Note: This portrait photograph, taken in the 1950s, features Colette, one of the greatest figures in 20th-century French literature. A novelist, journalist, critic, and woman of letters, she left her mark on her era with a profoundly original body of work that blends psychological insight, sensuality, and a keen eye for societal changes. Author of *Claudine à l’école*, *Chéri*, and *Gigi*, Colette was also one of the most famous figures in French intellectual life. The numerous stamps and publication dates on the back attest to the enduring use of this portrait by the press over several decades, underscoring the lasting nature of her cultural influence after her death in 1954. This vintage print thus serves as a valuable iconographic tribute to a major figure in French literature.
