"Portrait of Molière (1622–73) in the Role of Arnolphe from L'École des femmes at the Comédie-Française in 1670" is an artwork by François Séraphin Delpech, a French lithographer known for his portraits and theatrical subjects. The portrait captures the renowned French playwright and actor, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière, in character as Arnolphe, the protagonist of his play "L'École des femmes" (The School for Wives). This play is one of Molière's most celebrated works and premiered at the Palais Royal theatre on December 26, 1662.

The lithograph by Delpech is significant as it depicts Molière, who was also the manager of the prestigious Comédie-Française, in a role that he originally performed. The Comédie-Française, founded in 1680, is one of the few state theaters in France and was established as a merging of Molière's company with two other French theatrical companies. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of Molière's appearance but also provides insight into the theatrical costumes and staging of the 17th century.

François Séraphin Delpech (1778–1825) was an influential figure in the development of lithography in France. His portraits often featured prominent individuals from various walks of life, including actors, artists, and political figures. Delpech's work is characterized by its attention to detail and the ability to capture the essence of his subjects.

The portrait of Molière as Arnolphe is an important cultural artifact, reflecting the rich history of French theater and the enduring legacy of one of its greatest practitioners. It is a testament to the artistry of both Molière and Delpech, bridging the worlds of performance and visual arts. The lithograph remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of French literature, theater history, and art.
