"La Belle Espagnole; or, La Doublure de Madame Tallien 1773-1835" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. The etching is a commentary on the influence and reputation of Thérésa Tallien, a prominent figure in French society during the Revolutionary period. Known for her beauty and political connections, Madame Tallien was a socialite who played a significant role in the events of the time, including the Thermidorian Reaction which led to the fall of Maximilien Robespierre.

Gillray, who was active from the 1770s to the early 1800s, was famous for his sharp wit and the ability to capture and critique the social and political landscape of his era through his art. His work often targeted figures of authority and the aristocracy, employing humor and exaggeration to make his point. "La Belle Espagnole" is a testament to his skill in using caricature to reflect on contemporary events and personalities.

The print itself depicts Madame Tallien in a stylized manner, emphasizing certain features to evoke the Spanish influence suggested by the title. The term "La Doublure" in the title implies a stand-in or understudy, which could suggest a commentary on Madame Tallien's perceived role or influence behind the scenes in political or social spheres.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "La Belle Espagnole" would have been circulated among the public and could be seen as a form of visual journalism, offering insight and opinion on the events of the day. The work is an example of the rich tradition of political satire in art and contributes to our understanding of the cultural and historical context of the French Revolution and its aftermath.

The print is held in various collections and continues to be studied by art historians and scholars interested in the period, as well as by those examining the evolution of satirical art and its impact on public opinion and political discourse.
