EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century watercolor painting, titled "Antoine Ravel as Bobadil" by Alfred Jacob Miller, showcases the enigmatic French actor Antoine Ravel in the character of Bobadil. Dating from the 1850s, this artwork is a testament to the rich history of American entertainment and the enduring appeal of the thespian art. Ravel, with a confident and expressive demeanor, dons the colorful and elaborate costume of the fictional character Bobadil. The character, originating from the 16th century English play "The Roaring Girl," is known for his eccentric and flamboyant attire. Ravel's portrayal of Bobadil includes a voluminous coat, a striped hat adorned with feathers, and a pair of wide-legged trousers. The painting captures Ravel in a full-length pose, standing with his legs apart, holding a bag in one hand and a jacket in the other. The artist, Alfred Jacob Miller, masterfully employs a vibrant color palette, bringing the character and the scene to life. The watercolor on white paper with varnish is a testament to Miller's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of Ravel's performance. This painting is a significant addition to the Walters Art Museum's collection and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th century pantomime and theatrical fashion. The image not only showcases the intricacies of the costume design but also highlights the charisma and talent of the actor, Antoine Ravel, as he brings the character of Bobadil to life.
