EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "A Corpulent Man Staring Angrily at a Fop for Looking at His Daughter" transports us to the year 1831 in England. The scene depicts a corpulent man, his face contorted with anger, glaring at a foppish gentleman who dared to cast an admiring glance towards his daughter. With his eyeglass raised, the fop appears oblivious to the wrath he has incited. Handcolored and filled with intricate details, this satirical drawing is part of W. H. Harrison's "The Humourist" offering a glimpse into everyday life and societal customs of the time. It captures not only the protective nature of fathers but also highlights themes such as youth, observation, and obesity. In this snapshot of 19th-century England, we witness several individuals immersed in their roles within society. The father stands tall as he shields his daughter from potential suitors while embodying both love and concern for her well-being. Meanwhile, onlookers observe this tense encounter that reflects societal norms and expectations. Rowlandson's masterful engraving invites us to ponder upon various aspects: aging beauty standards juxtaposed against youthful affection; social hierarchies intertwined with personal connections; and even hints at one of the seven deadly sins - anger. As we delve into this intriguing image from our private collection, it serves as a reminder that art can transport us through time while shedding light on human emotions and cultural nuances that continue to shape our world today.
