Jeannie Lucas has painted seven almost identical portraits of mademoiselle Lavergne, after the work of Jean-Etienne Liotard, a contemporary of Diderot. Depicted against different background colours and decor, the figure in the painting subtly depicts Diderot’s ‘paradox of the comedian’, that an actor should control his own emotions in order to display the feelings of the character.
