EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures the intriguing scene of a court performer from the 16th century, known as Midget, posing with a majestic parrot perched on his arm. Dressed in a striking ensemble consisting of a hat, striped doublet, cape, and codpiece, Midget exudes an air of confidence and charisma. His sword adds an element of danger to his appearance, contrasting with the gentle presence of the exotic bird.
The intricate details in this print bring to life the opulence and theatricality of courtly entertainment during this period. The artist's skillful rendering highlights Midget's unique position as both performer and spectacle in the royal courts.
Louis Rene Letronne expertly captures every nuance of this fascinating character, while paying homage to the original illustration by Théodore Fragonard et Dufey. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw viewers into a world where fantasy meets reality.
This print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a historical document that sheds light on the diverse forms of entertainment enjoyed by nobility centuries ago. It is a testament to human creativity and imagination that transcends time and continues to captivate audiences today.
