À propos de l’œuvre
This painted sketch shows a backstage scene, two actors waiting to go onstage are engaged in tense conversation their faces illuminated by a large lantern. The sketch was created for publication and was painted by Sir Amédée Forestier (1854–1930) in 1886. Annotation on the rear of the illustation suggests that it was connected with an edition of the novel Jessamy Bride by Frank Frankfort Moore (1855–1931) for which Forestier produced the illustrations.
Sir Amédée Forestier (1854 – 1930) was an Anglo-French artist and illustrator. He began working for the Illustrated London News in 1882 and became known for his attention to detail and historical illustrations.
This item is one of several theatrical drawings from a collection of sketches commissioned from contemporary artists to be printed in illustrated magazines. The collection was donated to the museum by Sir William James Ingram in 1914.
