Sophie de Bezancourt Loyré d'Arbouville, the Countess d'Arbouville (29 October 1810 – 22 March 1850) was a French writer.
Biography
Born on October 28, 1810, Sophie de Bezancourt was the daughter of Jean Baptiste Maximilien Joseph Antoine Lecat, baron de Bazancourt,[1] and his wife Élisabeth Marie Constance Henriette d'Houdetot.[2] She was Sophie d'Houdetot's granddaughter, and frequented her salon with select society. Léon Séché described her as follows: "She had a rather ugly figure, with strong features and protruding eyes which, at first glance, were not in her favor, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her relative ugliness was forgotten". And Sainte-Beuve said of her: "Charming young woman, a little Diane, childless. Remained a child and younger than her age. Not pretty, but better."
