The French Comedians The costumes and repertoire of French comedians was distinct from Watteau’s favored Italian commedia dell’arte. This painting’s principal male figure is dressed in an old-fashioned, formal costume that in the eighteenth century would have been appropriate for a subject from antiquity. Typical of Watteau, however, the scene is entirely imaginary and does not align with any known opera or play. The entrance from backstage of Crispin, a character from the commedia dell’arte, underscores the improbability of the scene. Infrared reflectography shows a preparatory underdrawing on the canvas, probably by a specialist architecture painter, a practice Watteau often employed to create such stagelike spaces.

Halberd This halberd was a long-shafted weapon commonly used in the 15th century. The origin of this halberd is Connecticut, United States. The blade looks like a weird two-sided axe, with a large spike pointing out at the top. The handle is wooden(brown) and the blade is made of steel(silver). This particular halberd seems very well kept, with only a few darker spots indicating where the weapon has lost its shine over time.
