EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Ernest Coquelin, also known as Ernest Alexandre Honore Coquelin, or Coquelin cadet, in the prime of his acting career. Painted by renowned French artist Gabriel Joseph Marie Augustin Ferrier in 1883, the oil on wood portrait showcases Coquelin in the role of the titular character in Beaumarchais' play "The Barber of Seville." Dressed in the traditional costume of the time, Coquelin dons a black velvet jacket, white collared shirt, and a black hat adorned with a white ribbon. His expressive face, with furrowed brow and intense gaze, conveys the depth and complexity of the character he portrays in the classic comedy. Coquelin was a celebrated actor and a sociétaire, or shareholder, of the Comédie-Francaise, the prestigious French national theatre company. This portrait, now housed in the Musée Carnavalet in Paris, is a testament to his remarkable talent and enduring legacy in the world of French theatre. The painting also pays homage to the iconic playwright Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, whose works, including "The Barber of Seville," continue to captivate audiences to this day. The black and white color palette adds to the timeless and historic feel of the image, making it a precious addition to the heritage of French theatre and art.
