Doctor Convex and Lady Concave, November 20,1802 - A Humorous Reflection on Society's Obsession with Appearance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant hand-colored etching by Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported back to the early 19th century in Britain. The artwork titled "Doctor Convex and Lady Concave" captures a comical scene that satirizes society's preoccupation with physical appearance. The image showcases a contrast between two characters: Doctor Convex, a thin and seemingly healthy man, and Lady Concave, an overweight woman. As they engage in conversation, their contrasting shapes become the focal point of the piece. Doctor Convex appears amused while pointing at his own slim figure as if it were an achievement worth celebrating. Meanwhile, Lady Concave laughs heartily despite being the subject of ridicule due to her larger size. Rowlandson's clever use of color adds depth to this social commentary. The bright hues highlight the absurdity of valuing someone solely based on their physical shape or size. This print reminds us that even centuries ago, societal pressure regarding body image was prevalent. It serves as a reminder for contemporary viewers to question our own biases and challenge beauty standards that often prioritize unrealistic ideals. As part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection today, this artwork continues to provoke laughter while encouraging reflection on how we perceive ourselves and others in terms of shape and appearance.
