"The Pantaloon" is a notable painting by the English artist Henry Stacy Marks, who was an influential figure in the Victorian art scene. Marks, born in 1829, was a member of the Royal Academy and is best known for his detailed and often whimsical depictions of birds, as well as his genre paintings that capture the essence of Victorian life. "The Pantaloon," created in 1874, is one of his works that exemplifies his skill in combining humor with a keen observation of character.

The painting portrays a character from the traditional Italian commedia dell'arte, a form of theater characterized by masked "types" which began in the 16th century and became popular across Europe. The Pantaloon, or Pantalone, is typically depicted as a miserly, old Venetian merchant, often involved in humorous and exaggerated situations. Marks' rendition of this character is both a tribute to the theatrical tradition and a showcase of his ability to infuse personality and life into his subjects.

In "The Pantaloon," Marks employs a rich palette and meticulous attention to detail, capturing the textures of the character's elaborate costume and the expressive features of his face. The painting reflects Marks' broader interest in theatrical subjects and his talent for narrative art. It also highlights his ability to blend realism with a touch of caricature, making his work accessible and engaging to a wide audience.

Marks' contribution to Victorian art extends beyond his paintings; he was also a respected teacher and writer, contributing to the art community through his lectures and publications. "The Pantaloon" remains a significant piece within his oeuvre, illustrating his unique approach to genre painting and his fascination with the interplay between art and theater.
