"White Collar: A Glimpse into the World of Businessmen Through Art" In this captivating collection of artworks, we delve into the intriguing world of white-collar professionals. From businessmen smoking cigarettes and flashing smiles to portraits capturing their essence, each piece offers a unique perspective on this fascinating group. Le Boureau, plate 6 from French Habits published by Hannah Humphrey in 1798 (coloured etching) presents us with an enigmatic scene - businessmen engrossed in conversation while enjoying a smoke. Their relaxed demeanor hints at the confidence that comes with their profession. Moving forward in time, George Coldham's Town Clerk of Nottingham, c. 1810 (oil on canvas) portrays a distinguished figure immersed in his duties. The meticulous brushstrokes capture both his authority and dedication to his role within society. James Lister's self-portrait (oil on canvas) takes us behind closed doors as he gazes confidently at the viewer. His poised expression reflects the self-assurance often associated with those who navigate corporate landscapes. Reverend John Lister, 1701 (oil on canvas, unglassed), provides an interesting contrast as it showcases a man whose collar may be white but whose calling is spiritual rather than commercial. This inclusion reminds us that not all individuals bearing this label are solely focused on business pursuits. Portrait on a Veranda, Spain, 1933 (oil on board) transports us to sun-soaked terraces where businessmen find respite from their demanding lives. Here we witness them taking moments for themselves amidst picturesque surroundings – perhaps contemplating strategies or simply appreciating life's beauty beyond office walls. Maurice Appert Seated, c. 1886-88 (conte crayon and gouache on paper) captures another facet of these professionals' lives – introspection and contemplation amid solitude. The artist skillfully depicts Appert lost in thought; his expression revealing the weight of responsibility that often accompanies white-collar positions.
