This print showcases Alceste, a character from Moliere's renowned play "Le misanthrope". The image, captured by an unknown artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. Alceste, portrayed here with great depth and emotion, epitomizes the complex nature of humanity as depicted in Moliere's work. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of this iconic literary figure. With meticulous attention to detail and skillful execution, it brings to life Alceste's inner turmoil and his struggle against society's hypocrisy.

Leonard de Selva has masterfully preserved this timeless piece of artistry through photography. His expertise allows us to appreciate every intricate line and shading that conveys Alceste's internal conflict.
