Her strength lay in declamation, and she wasadmired in the roles of Molière. Her great talent waseclipsed by her volatile temper and by the changingstyles of acting best exemplified by that of AdrienneLecouvrer, her young rival.

Duclos in the role of Ariane (by Thomas Corneille) is oneof the grand portraits of the French baroque theatre andone of the treasures of Le Musée de la ComédieFrançaise (Dacier, 20)
