About the Book

Ma bien bonne amie, vous me demandez avec tant d'instances de vous écrire mes souvenirs, que je me décide à vous satisfaire. Que de sensations je vais éprouver en me rappelant et les évènemens divers dont j'ai été témoin ! et des amis, qui n'existent plus que dans ma pensée ! Toutefois, la chose me sera facile, car mon coeur a de la mémoire, et dans mes heures de solitude, ces amis si chers m'entourent encore, tant mon imagination me les réalise. Je joindrai d'ailleurs à mon récit les notes que j'ai prises à différentes époques de ma vie, sur une foule de personnes dont j'ai fait le portrait, et qui, pour la plupart, étaient de ma société; grâce à ce secours, les plus doux momens de mon existence vous seront connus aussi bien qu'ils me le sont à moi-même. Je vous parlerai d'abord, chère amie, de mes premières années, parce qu'elles ont été le présage de toute ma vie, puisque mon amour pour la peinture s'est manifesté dès mon enfance. On me mit au couvent à l'âge de six ans1; j'y suis restée jusqu'à onze. Dans cet intervalle, je crayonnais sans cesse et partout; mes cahiers, et même ceux de mes camarades, étaient remplis à la marge de petites têtes de face, ou de profil; sur les murs du dortoir, je traçais avec du charbon des figures et des paysages, aussi vous devez penser que j'étais souvent en pénitence. Puis, dans les momens de récréation, je dessinais sur le sable tout ce qui me passait par la tête. Je me souviens qu'à l'âge de sept ou huit ans, je dessinai à la lampe un homme à barbe, que j'ai toujours gardé. Je le fis voir à mon père2 qui s'écria transporté de joie: Tu seras peintre, mon enfant, ou jamais il n'en sera. Je vous fais ce récit pour vous prouver à quel point la passion de la peinture était innée en moi. Cette passion ne s'est jamais affaiblie; je crois même qu'elle n'a fait que s'accroître avec le temps; car, encore aujourd'hui, j'en éprouve tout le charme, qui ne finira j'espère qu'avec ma vie. C'est au reste à cette divine passion que je dois, non-seulement ma fortune, mais aussi mon bonheur, puisque dans ma jeunesse comme à présent, elle a établi des rapports entre moi et tout ce qu'il y avait de plus aimable, de plus distingué dans l'Europe, en hommes et en femmes. Le souvenir de tant de personnes remarquables que j'ai connues prête souvent pour moi du charme à la solitude. Je vis encore alors avec ceux qui ne sont plus, et je dois remercier la Providence qui m'a laissé ce reflet d'un bonheur passé. Texte intégral annoté et illustré. Collection des deux volumes: Les premiers triomphes et Les années d'exil.
