Madame Élisabeth de France #[nn]

A young noblewoman in a pale blue dress stands at the center of a crowd of Revolutionary-era soldiers and armed figures — pitchforks raised, tricorn hats and red caps marking the tension of the age — in this French graphic album from Artège Éditions. The cover places Madame Élisabeth de France squarely in the turbulent heart of the Revolution, surrounded by faces that range from stern to menacing. Dupuy and Cerisier bring an intimate, historically grounded visual style to this 2019 release that promises both drama and depth.
