It was during her time studying at Académie Julian, in Paris, that Ethel Wright became familiar with Pierrot. Pierrot, the lovelorn peasant, had first appeared in French literature in Molière’s 1665 comedy Dom Juan or the Feast of the Stone, since when he has appeared in countless novels, plays, poems and works of art, giving audiences laughs at his own expense with his constant run-ins with tragedy and hardship.
