Francoise Ravel as Roquinet, 1855-1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor painting by Alfred Jacob Miller, showcasing the American actress Francoise Ravel in the character of Roquinet. The image, created during the 1850s, captures Ravel in a full-length portrait, dressed in the elaborate costume of this fictional thespian character. Roquinet, a popular character from the American pantomime scene, was known for his eccentric appearance and flamboyant attire. In this painting, Ravel embodies the character perfectly, wearing a colorful, patterned suit with a top hat adorned with a large feather, a long, flowing cravat, and a pair of high, carriage boots with walking sticks in each hand. The actress stands confidently, one hand in her pocket, the other holding a staff, as if ready to take the stage. Her posture exudes a sense of poise and determination, while her expressive eyes engage the viewer with a hint of mischief. The painting is executed on blotting paper, adding to its unique texture and character. This evocative work of art is a testament to the rich heritage of American entertainment during the nineteenth century. The image is now housed in the Walters Art Museum, providing a valuable insight into the world of American theater and the extraordinary talent of Francoise Ravel as she brought Roquinet to life on stage. The painting is a fascinating blend of art, fashion, and history, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring allure of the performing arts.
