"French Comedian" (also known as "Gilles" or "Pierrot") is a notable painting by the French artist Jean-Antoine Watteau, created circa 1718-1719. This artwork is one of Watteau's most famous depictions of the commedia dell'arte, a form of theatrical entertainment that originated in Italy and became quite popular in France during the 17th and 18th centuries. The painting portrays a central character, traditionally identified as Gilles, a sad clown figure who is one of the iconic characters of the commedia dell'arte, known for his whiteface makeup and loose white costume.

The painting is remarkable for its subtle interplay of colors and the poignant expression captured on the face of the protagonist, which conveys a sense of introspection and melancholy. Watteau's mastery in rendering the textures of fabrics and the delicate use of light contributes to the overall enigmatic atmosphere of the piece. "French Comedian" is often interpreted as a reflection on the human condition, exploring themes of isolation and the duality of the performer's life—caught between the joy of performance and the solitude of reality.

Jean-Antoine Watteau, a proponent of the Rococo style, is celebrated for his contributions to the fête galante genre, which depicted scenes of elegant outdoor entertainments and amorous escapades. However, "French Comedian" stands apart for its more somber and introspective qualities, showcasing Watteau's versatility as an artist and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotion.

The painting is held in a prominent public collection and has been the subject of extensive art historical research. It has been exhibited in various museums and galleries, allowing the public to appreciate Watteau's unique contribution to the arts. "French Comedian" continues to inspire scholarly discussion and remains an important work for understanding the cultural and artistic dynamics of early 18th-century France.
