Portfolio of Characters and Types

Samuel Marie Clédat de Lavigerie French

Not on view

Clédat de Lavigerie worked primarily as a costume designer in Paris in the 1870s and 80s. This portfolio of drawings portrays an eclectic variety of male subjects including popular fictional characters, national types, clowns, mimes, and medieval saints. The artist presents them somewhat uniformly, each wearing a black jacket, and distinguished only from the neck up, demonstrating his ability to visually express a character with minimal means.
