EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century image, titled "Gabriel Ravel as the Clown," was painted by Alfred Jacob Miller between 1855 and 1859. The subject of the painting is Gabriel Ravel, a French actor and entertainer who became a popular figure in America during the mid-19th century. Ravel was known for his performances as a clown, magician, and pantomime artist, often wearing elaborate costumes and heavy face paint. In this full-length portrait, Ravel is depicted standing in front of a carriage, wearing a colorful clown suit adorned with red and white stripes, a red nose, and black and white face paint. He wears tall, high-top boots with carriage boots, adding to his distinctive clown appearance. The artist, Alfred Jacob Miller, expertly captures the expressive and playful nature of Ravel's character, with a mischievous grin spreading across his face. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage of American theater and entertainment during the 19th century, as well as the influence of European performers on the American stage. The photographic print, with its spot color of red and white, showcases the intricate details of Miller's watercolor on white paper technique. This work of art is now part of the collection of the Walters Art Museum and continues to inspire and delight audiences today.
