The novel, published in 1840, tells the story of a young Corsican woman named Colomba della Rebbia who seeks to avenge her father's murder through the traditional practice of vendetta. Gaston Vuillier, known for his detailed and evocative illustrations, captured the essence of Mérimée's characters and the Corsican landscape with his artwork.

His artistic style, which often included meticulous attention to detail and a fascination with ethnographic elements, is evident in this piece.

The illustration by Vuillier is part of a larger tradition of artists providing visual accompaniment to literary works, a practice that was particularly popular during the 19th century when illustrated books were highly valued by the public.
