EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print, titled "Who am I! I'm the Mistress of this ere ouse, and this is the young Squire!", artist John Leech brings to life a scene from Robert Smith Surtees' novel Mr. Facey Romfords Hounds. The artwork showcases an intense moment within a family setting, where tensions run high and emotions flare. The central figure in the image is a formidable woman who proudly declares herself as the mistress of the house. Her commanding presence exudes authority and strength. Standing beside her is a young squire, presumably her son, who embodies youthful energy and curiosity. Surrounded by an intricately detailed interior, filled with books and weaponry adorning the walls, we get a glimpse into their world. The contrasting colors add depth to the composition while symbolizing anger and war. This print captures not only domestic life but also hints at themes of disagreement and marital discord. It portrays a powerful woman asserting her position against what appears to be her husband's disapproval or fury. Through Leech's skillful etching technique and caricature style, he masterfully conveys complex human emotions within this fictional narrative set in the 19th century countryside. This artwork serves as both an intriguing visual representation of Surtees' work as well as a testament to Leech's talent for capturing dramatic moments that resonate with viewers even today.
