EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century watercolor on paper by Alfred Jacob Miller depicts the fictional character Jerome Ravel as Burge, a comical figure from the American frontier era. Dressed in a blue coat, white shirt, and red neckerchief, Burge wears a pair of oversized carriage boots with a hand on his hip and a smirk on his face. His legs are spread apart, and he dons a tall, wide-brimmed hat, adding to his larger-than-life persona. The painting, created between 1855 and 1859, showcases the intricacies of Miller's artistic skill, with meticulous attention to detail in the textures of Burge's clothing and the rich colors that bring the scene to life. The background is sparsely populated with trees and a simple wooden fence, emphasizing the focus on the main subject. Burge's character, though fictional, is a representation of the unique fashion and culture of the time. The painting is a testament to the heritage and history of America during the 1850s, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of 19th century art. This artwork, now housed in the Walters Art Museum, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting viewers to imagine the stories and adventures of Burge and the people of the American frontier. The posture and expression of the character, along with the vibrant colors and intricate details, make for a captivating and engaging piece that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
