EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles-Edme Vernet, a renowned French actor, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as Dominique in the production of "La Famille du Porteur d'Eau" at the Theatre des Varietes in Paris during 1824. The image, created by Gabriel de Lurieu after an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, captures the intensity and emotion of Vernet's performance. In this play, Vernet portrayed the character of Dominique, a water carrier who experiences a series of trials and tribulations within his family. The lithograph, published by F. Noel, showcases Vernet's expressive face and the intricate details of his costume. His deeply lined features and piercing gaze convey the depth of emotion required for the role. The background of the image features other actors and stage props, providing a glimpse into the theatrical setting. Vernet's career spanned over several decades, and he was known for his versatility and ability to bring complex characters to life. This lithograph is a testament to his talent and the impact he had on the French stage during the early 19th century. The intricately detailed handcolouring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a valuable historical document as well as a work of art.
