EDITORS COMMENTS
Francoise Ravel as Bertrand, 1855-1859" is a captivating watercolor painting by Alfred Jacob Miller, showcasing the renowned French actress Francoise Ravel in the character of Bertrand. The image, created during the 1850s, depicts Ravel in a full-length portrait, leaning forward with a thoughtful expression on her face. She is dressed as the destitute and ragged character Bertrand, with a torn and tattered grey coat, ripped pants, and a worn-out umbrella in hand. The painting captures the essence of the pantomime character Bertrand, a beggar or a vagabond, who was a common figure in the American entertainment scene during the 19th century. The artist, Alfred Jacob Miller, masterfully portrays the concept of poverty and the struggles of the working class through the use of color and detail in the painting. Ravel's profile is accentuated by the contrasting colors of her grey coat and the ripped dress beneath, adding depth and texture to the image. Her umbrella, leaning against her, completes the scene, adding an element of melancholy to the portrait. The painting is a testament to the heritage of American art and the thespian world of the 19th century. This watercolor on blotting paper is a significant addition to any art collection, showcasing the talent and skill of Alfred Jacob Miller, as well as the rich history of American theater and entertainment. The painting is currently housed in the Walters Art Museum and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art, theater, and fashion.
