Suitors, c1780-1825. Creator: Thomas Rowlandson
Suitors, c1780-1825. In " Suitors" we find one of the subjects drawn from Rowlandsons imagination, a source which was inexhaustible. These invasions of thought, coupled with his curiosity as to what might happen, often brought forth accidental and exceptional achievements that otherwise would not have come to pass...The types demand close study both for attitude and facial expression. From " The Watercolour Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson from the Albert H. Wiggin Collection in the Boston Public Library" with commentary by Arthur W. Heintzelman. [Watson-Guptill Publications, Inc. New York, 1947]

EDITORS COMMENTS
In "Suitors" by Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported to a whimsical world of courtship and caricature. Created between 1780-1825, this print showcases Rowlandson's boundless imagination and his ability to bring forth accidental and exceptional achievements through his curiosity. The subjects in "Suitors" demand close study as they reveal both attitude and facial expressions that capture the essence of courtship in the 18th and 19th centuries. With a touch of satire, Rowlandson portrays an array of characters from bachelors to spinsters, each with their own unique charm or quirkiness. This artwork is part of "The Watercolour Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson" collection housed at the Boston Public Library. Accompanied by commentary from Arthur W. Heintzelman, it offers insight into the artist's creative process and the historical context behind his work. Rowlandson's use of color adds vibrancy to this scene filled with funny encounters between men and women seeking love. His flattering yet comical depictions highlight not only physical attributes but also societal norms surrounding courtship during that era. Through this watercolor drawing, we glimpse into a world where suitors pursue their romantic interests amidst laughter and amusement. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time, allowing us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its ability to reflect upon human relationships throughout history.
