Charles Doussault was an Orientalist painter-traveler whose work includes an 1846 portrait of Sultan Abdulmecid and numerous paintings and drawings of Romania, Syria and the Holy Land.
He was a pupil of Ingres and Eugène Devéria before becoming a collaborator of the Devéria brothers. He exhibited at the Paris Salon mainly between 1830 and 1850, initially painting troubadour subjects, before traveling first to Romania and then to the Middle East in 1844, to Damascus and the Holy Land, from where he brought back subjects for the oils and watercolors that made him famous in Paris in the 1840s and 1850s.
Our painting dates from his first period, precisely 1836. It was painted when Charles Doussault was still young and working as a collaborator of the Devéria brothers.
Perhaps it's a portrait of an actress in costume in a play, as many Achille Devéria did (Marie Dorval, Elisa Rachel, Fanny Elssler...). Or perhaps it's a genre scene inspired by the adventures of the parrot Vert-Vert, taken from the humorous poem of the same name composed by Jean-Baptiste Gresset and published in 1734, and which greatly inspired troubadour painters in the first third of the 19th century (Fleury Richard, Jacquand, Granet among others).
