Mr. Dauber and the Whimsical Picture 1905 Directed by Georges Méliès Le Peintre Barbouillard et le Tableau diabolique

A lost film

Mr. Dauber, a painter very favorably known, receives a visit Mr. Pierrot, a white clown enjoying a popularity as wide-spread as that of the painter himself, who comes to request a sitting for his portrait, The painter sets out promptly to execute his order, and in a few minutes he sketches upon a blackboard the portrait of his new patron. Hardly has he finished when the painting, nothing but that of a jumping-jack, begins to move its arms and legs and afterwards springs out of the frame. There follows between the three an irresistibly comic scene during which a number of amusing incidents take place, producing bursts of laughter from the audience.
