EDITORS COMMENTS
Francois Ravel as Bibi, also known as the Study for Antoine as Robert Maccaire, is a captivating work of art by Alfred Jacob Miller, created during the 1850s. This intriguing image depicts Francois Ravel in the character of Bibi, a fictional character from the American pantomime tradition. The versos of the recto watercolor on cream colored paper and the verso with pencil and pen on the same material reveal the meticulous process behind Miller's creation. Ravel is shown in a full-length portrait, wearing a colorful boater hat, a coat with a checkered pattern, and trousers. He stands on one leg, balancing a boule in his hand, while his other leg is bent, and his body is slightly tilted forward. The artist masterfully captures the concept of leisure and entertainment in this depiction of a thespian at work. The setting is unclear, but the background suggests a rural or countryside location, adding to the sense of nostalgia and heritage. Ravel's posture and profile convey a sense of concentration and determination, as if he is about to perform a crucial part of his act. The artist's skillful use of color and balance creates a visually striking and engaging image that transports us to a bygone era. Miller's Study for Antoine as Robert Maccaire is an excellent example of the art of caricature and the rich history of American performing arts. This unique work of art is now part of the Walters Art Museum's collection and is a testament to the enduring appeal of the human spirit in the arts.
