About the Item
Richard Dighton (1795-1880)
A View from Brazen Nose College (1808)
Hand coloured engraving
28 x 22 cm
Richard Dighton (1795–1880) was a prominent English artist and caricaturist, best known for his elegant profile portraits of early 19th-century society figures. The son of caricaturist Robert Dighton, he developed a distinctive style that balanced satire with sophistication, moving away from the exaggerated grotesquery of earlier caricatures. His finely drawn etchings and later lithographs and watercolours captured the refined yet often pompous airs of Regency London’s fashionable elite—politicians, lawyers, military men, and dandies alike. With clean lines, elongated forms, and a sharp eye for personality, Dighton’s work offers a witty yet insightful glimpse into the characters of his time. His legacy lived on through his sons, who continued in the family’s artistic tradition.
This hand-coloured engraving portrays a rotund academic in full scholarly robes, captured in Dighton’s signature profile style. With a stern expression, powdered wig, and traditional cap, the figure stands in a dignified pose, one hand placed on his chest. The simple background and muted tones draw attention to the character’s form and posture, blending gentle satire with respectful observation of academic life.
