Adrien Perlet as Fringale in Le Gastronome Sans Argent: A Humorous Portrayal of a Penniless Gourmet This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases French comic actor Adrien Perlet in the role of Fringale from the play 'Le Gastronome Sans Argent' by Eugène Scribe, performed at the Theatre du Gymnase in Paris during 1821. The image, published in Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles, offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of the time. Adrien Perlet, born in 1795, was a renowned French comedian known for his exceptional talent in delivering humorous performances. In this production, he portrays the character Fringale, a penniless gourmet, who, despite his financial struggles, remains passionate about fine dining and gastronomy. The play, written by Eugène Scribe, is a comedic exploration of the lengths Fringale goes to satisfy his appetite, often leading to humorous and absurd situations. The Theatre du Gymnase, a popular Parisian theatre during the 19th century, was the perfect venue for such a production. The play's success is evident in the numerous reproductions, including this handcoloured copperplate engraving, which were published and circulated to capture the public's interest. The intricate details of the engraving, from Perlet's expressive facial features to the ornate decorations of the theatre, offer a window into the world of French theatre during this period. The handcolouring further adds to the image's charm, making it a visually stunning representation of Perlet's performance as Fringale in Le Gastronome Sans Argent.
