4528 European School – Portrait of the Actor Tourboul – Ink and Wash Drawing – 19th Century
This expressive ink and wash drawing portrays the French comic actor Tourboul, depicted in theatrical costume with a broad-brimmed hat, long hair, and a pronounced collar. His exaggerated expression, slightly turned pose, and stylized features suggest a caricature or character study, likely intended for a theatrical publication or costume record. Attached to the drawing is a manuscript note in French, identifying him as an actor known for parody and mimicry, gifted in creating comic imitations of his contemporaries.
The drawing belongs to the anonymous tradition of 19th-century European theatrical studies. Such portraits were often created by stage illustrators, students of the fine arts, or costume designers documenting the personalities and performers of the Parisian theatre world. These ink sketches, with tonal washes and stylized gestures, reflect the visual culture of the comedic stage and popular entertainment in the 1800s.
