A Little Bigger, 1791
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by the renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson. This artwork, housed in the esteemed State A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, transports us back to 18th century England. In this satirical caricature, Rowlandson humorously depicts a plump and jovial tailor engrossed in his work. Dressed impeccably in a suit that befits his profession, this British gentleman showcases both skill and wit through his artistry. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to the scene as we witness the bustling atmosphere of an English countryside workshop. The concept of excess weight is playfully emphasized as our protagonist measures fabric on his ample waistline. Rowlandson's mastery lies not only in capturing physical appearances but also in infusing social commentary into his works. Through satire and clever exaggeration, he sheds light on societal norms and stereotypes prevalent during Georgian Britain. This engraving beautifully combines elements of watercolor with fine lines to create a visually striking piece that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon "A Little Bigger" we are transported to an era where art served as both entertainment and reflection of society. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print serves as a testament to Thomas Rowlandson's talent while offering us a glimpse into 18th-century British culture.
