EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chicot, illustration from Characters of Romance" takes us back to the early 1900s. The image showcases a gentleman dressed in an exquisite doublet, holding a cup and ball toy with great finesse. This character is none other than Chicot, brought to life by the talented artist William Nicholson. Chicot's charismatic presence is evident as he stands confidently, his sword resting by his side. His attire reflects the fashion of the era, complete with a ruff collar that adds an air of elegance to his ensemble. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we discover that Chicot was inspired by Alexandre Dumas père's novel Les Quarante-Cinq. The artist skillfully captures Chicot's essence as both a dandy and jester - a complex character who entertains while also playing significant roles within King Henry III's court. Through this illustration, Nicholson transports us into the world of historical romance and intrigue. Displayed in vivid color lithography, this print exudes charm and sophistication. It serves as a testament to Nicholson's artistic prowess and attention to detail. With its rich history and timeless appeal, this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate artistry from days gone by without any commercial use implications mentioned or intended for it.
