EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph depicts the renowned French actor Pierre-Frederic Achard in the role of Badinguet from the play "Le Mardi Gras au Hotel des Haricots" by Laurencin and Clairville, performed at the Theatre du Gymnase Dramatique in Paris during 1846. The image, based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, showcases Achard's masterful portrayal of the character in the production. Badinguet, a character from the popular French farce "Folie Carnavale" by Louis-Benoit Picard, was a mischievous servant who often outwitted his employers through his clever schemes and quick thinking. Achard's performance as Badinguet was highly acclaimed, earning him critical praise and the admiration of audiences. The lithograph captures the essence of the character's playful and mischievous nature, with Achard portrayed in a colorful costume adorned with flowers and feathers, holding a bottle of wine and a mask in his hand. The intricate details of the hand-coloring add depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning representation of Achard's iconic performance. The Theatre du Gymnase Dramatique was a popular venue for French theatre during the 19th century, known for its productions of comedies and farces. The play "Le Mardi Gras au Hotel des Haricots" was a staple of the theatre's repertoire, and Achard's portrayal of Badinguet was a highlight of the production. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to Achard's talent as an actor and the enduring appeal of the character of Badinguet. It offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theatre and the captivating performances that have entertained audiences for generations.
