Francoise Ravel as Roquinet, 1855-1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor painting by Alfred Jacob Miller, showcasing the renowned French actress Francoise Ravel in the character of Roquinet. The image, created during the 1850s, depicts Ravel in a full-length portrait, dressed in the colorful and elaborate costume of this fictional character from a popular American pantomime. Roquinet, a ringmaster or master of ceremonies, is depicted here with a top hat perched atop his head, a hand in his pocket, and a confident posture. He wears a long, red jacket with gold braid and buttons, adorned with various insignia, over a white shirt and black trousers. His boots, with high, curved "carriage" boots, add an air of grandeur to the character. The painting captures the essence of the thespian world, with Ravel's expressive face and engaging pose conveying the energy and excitement of the stage. The background, though simple, adds to the overall effect by creating a sense of depth and setting the scene for this intriguing character. This watercolor on cream colored paper is a testament to the rich heritage of American entertainment in the nineteenth century and the enduring impact of the performing arts on popular culture. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection at the Walters Art Museum, offering a glimpse into the past and the fascinating world of Roquinet and Francoise Ravel.
