"Le Livre de la Marquise" is an illustrated book by Russian artist Konstantin Andreevich Somov (1869–1939), known for his contributions to the Mir Iskusstva (World of Art) movement and his work in graphic arts, painting, and book illustration. Published in 1918, the book is a collection of erotic poems and prose from the 18th century, which Somov complemented with a series of delicate, Rococo-style illustrations. The book reflects Somov's fascination with the French Rococo period, characterized by its playful, decorative, and often frivolous approach to the arts.

Somov's illustrations for "Le Livre de la Marquise" are notable for their exquisite attention to detail, use of soft pastel colors, and the incorporation of elegant figures in idyllic and often sensual settings. These illustrations are considered some of the finest examples of his graphic work and are highly regarded for their technical skill and artistic beauty.

The book's content, with its focus on eroticism and its Rococo aesthetic, was in line with the broader cultural trends of the early 20th century in Russia, where there was a revival of interest in the 18th century and its artistic styles. "Le Livre de la Marquise" is not only a testament to Somov's artistic prowess but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the period's literary and artistic sensibilities.

As an artist, Somov played a significant role in the development of Russian Symbolism and Art Nouveau. His work often explored themes of beauty, nostalgia, and the passage of time, and "Le Livre de la Marquise" stands as a quintessential representation of these motifs. Today, the book is a sought-after collector's item and is held in high esteem by aficionados of Russian art and the history of illustration.
