"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 and painting. Published in 1918, the book is a collection of erotic poems and illustrations that reflect Somov's delicate and refined style, which often harked back to the Rococo period with its emphasis on hedonism and aristocratic leisure.

Somov, a graduate of the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg, was deeply influenced by the aesthetics of the 18th century, and "Le Livre de la Marquise" stands as a testament to his fascination with the era's artistic sensibilities. The book's illustrations are characterized by their elegant lines, soft colors, and a playful yet sophisticated approach to the subject matter. Somov's work in "Le Livre de la Marquise" is notable for its combination of literary and visual arts, with the artist's illustrations directly complementing and enhancing the erotic themes of the poems.

The publication of "Le Livre de la Marquise" came at a time when Somov was living in exile in Paris after the Russian Revolution. His work during this period continued to reflect his longing for the bygone era of the Russian aristocracy, and "Le Livre de la Marquise" can be seen as both a product of its time and a nostalgic look back at a lost world.

As an important contribution to the Art Nouveau movement and a reflection of the libertine spirit of the time, "Le Livre de la Marquise" remains a significant work in the oeuvre of Konstantin Somov. It is celebrated for its artistic merit and as an example of the cross-pollination between visual art and poetry in the early 20th century. The book is also of interest to scholars studying the cultural and historical context of Russian émigré artists in the aftermath of the 1917 revolution.
