The frontispiece illustration from "Les Fâcheux" by Molière, created by Pierre Brissart, is a significant piece of 17th-century French art that serves as a visual introduction to one of Molière's comedic plays. This illustration not only encapsulates the essence of the play's themes and characters but also stands as an exemplary work of the period's engraving and illustration techniques. "Les Fâcheux," translated as "The Bores," is a comedy that was first presented in 1661 at the Château de Chambord for Louis XIV of France. The play humorously explores the inconveniences caused by social parasites to the protagonist, Eraste, who seeks a peaceful time with his beloved, Orphise, only to be constantly interrupted by various annoying characters.

Pierre Brissart, an artist whose life details are less documented compared to his contemporaneous counterparts, was nonetheless a skilled engraver of his time. His work on the frontispiece for "Les Fâcheux" is a testament to the artistic and cultural milieu of Louis XIV's France, where literature, art, and the patronage of the Sun King himself intersected to produce works of enduring legacy. The illustration not only serves as a visual summary of the play but also reflects the artistic standards and aesthetic preferences of the French aristocracy and intellectual circles during the 17th century.

The frontispiece by Brissart is characterized by its intricate detail, balanced composition, and the way it conveys the play's comedic elements through visual means. It is an important piece for scholars studying the intersection of literature and visual arts in early modern France, as well as for those interested in the history of book illustration and engraving techniques. As a piece of art, it provides insight into the social and cultural contexts of its time, offering a window into the world of Molière and the French baroque period.
