Theatrical Troupe on the Road 1818 Eugène Delacroix Among the earliest drawings Delacroix made in preparation for works that entered the public sphere are satirical cartoons. Here, he assembles a motley crew of players to criticize the prevailing academic classicism of the theater. The wagon is stuffed with scenery, including a classical column and a board painted with a Greco-Roman god. A Pierrot type leads the group but looks back toward an actor dressed as a Roman soldier rather foolishly riding one of the carthorses. Delacroixs use of watercolor indicates that he anticipated the lithograph based on this drawing would be hand-tinted, as was common practice with the immensely popular English caricatures he so admired..
