EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length watercolor painting, created by Alfred Jacob Miller between 1855 and 1859, depicts the renowned American actor William Evans Burton in the character of Waddilove, from the play "To Parents and Guardians." Burton, born in England in 1804, had made a name for himself on both sides of the Atlantic as a versatile and beloved thespian. In this image, Burton is shown in a rich green coat and jacket, with a chubby figure and a hand in his pocket. He wears a tall hat adorned with a ribbon, and his posture exudes a sense of confidence and ease. The vibrant green color of his apparel contrasts beautifully with the muted tones of the background, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure. The painting is a testament to the fashion of the time, with Burton's clothing reflecting the trends of the 1850s. The detailed rendering of the fabric and textures adds to the authenticity of the image, making it a valuable piece of heritage art. Burton's portrayal of Waddilove in "To Parents and Guardians" was a popular one, and this painting offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century American theater. The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, is the current home of this stunning watercolor on paper, which continues to captivate audiences with its rich history and artistic merit.
