Marcel Proust was inspired by the Countess Greffulhe when he created the character of the Duchesse de Guermantes. But he also drew on elements of her style for another character, the Princesse de Guermantes. In one scene in The Guermantes Way<\/em>, he placed the two women together: the former \u201ctypically French\u201d in her \u201cexquisite refinement,\u201d the latter more \u201cpoetic\u201d and \u201cdressed up.\u201d This evening ensemble, with its motif of hieroglyphics inspired by the discovery of Tutankhamun\u2019s tomb, seems more in accordance with the style of the Princesse de Guermantes.<\/div>\n
