"The Servant Felicité" is an illustration by French artist Louis Emile Adan, created as a visual representation for Gustave Flaubert's novella "Un cœur simple" (A Simple Heart), which was first published in 1877 as part of the book "Trois Contes" (Three Tales). The novella tells the story of Félicité, a devoted and selfless servant whose life is marked by her deep affection for her mistress and a series of personal losses. Adan's illustration captures the essence of Félicité's character, often highlighting key moments or themes from Flaubert's narrative.

Louis Emile Adan (1839-1937) was a French painter and illustrator known for his genre scenes, portraits, and illustrations of literary works. His artistic style, which often included detailed and emotive character studies, was well-suited to the task of interpreting Flaubert's nuanced prose. Adan's illustration for "Un cœur simple" is one of several works in which he engaged with the literary world, bringing to life the characters and scenes of beloved French literature.

The illustration not only serves as a visual accompaniment to Flaubert's text but also as an interpretive work that offers insight into the period's artistic and cultural milieu. Adan's depiction of Félicité reflects the broader themes of the novella, such as the dignity of simple lives, the nature of true devotion, and the search for spiritual meaning in a changing world. The artwork is significant both as an example of Adan's oeuvre and as a contribution to the visual culture surrounding Flaubert's literary legacy.
