EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures Antoine Ravel in the role of the White Knight, as depicted by the renowned artist Alfred Jacob Miller in the mid-19th century. The painting, created between 1855 and 1859, showcases Ravel in full regalia, standing proudly with a sword in hand and a feathered hat adorned with a white ostrich plume atop his head. His costume, reminiscent of medieval European knights, includes a white suit of armor, a red belt, and black gloves. The White Knight was a popular character in pantomime, a theatrical form of entertainment that combined music, dance, and comedy with elements of drama. Antoine Ravel, a French actor, was a prominent figure in American theater during the 1850s. He graced the stages of various theaters across the United States, captivating audiences with his performances. This painting, a testament to Ravel's thespian abilities, is a rare glimpse into the world of 19th-century American theater and the fashion of the time. The artwork, executed in watercolor washes on white paper, exudes an ethereal quality, with the White Knight standing against a plain background, allowing the intricate details of his costume to take center stage. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection at the Walters Art Museum, a treasure trove of art and heritage from around the world.
