George Townley Stubbs (British, 1756-1815)

The Inconvenience of Dress, 1786
Etching and Engraving with Hand Coloring
Site Size: 9 1/4" x 7 1/4"

Overall Size: 16 5/8" x 14 1/2"
A lady seated at a table in profile to the left, a tureen before her, attempts to take a spoonful of soup; she guides the spoon carefully over her projecting false bosom. Her cheeks are hollow. Her much-inflated dress, with its false 'derriere,' projects through the back of her chair. Her hair is puffed out prevailingly; ringlets rest on her shoulder.
Beneath the title is engraved:
'Rage for Dress - Bewitching passion!
Who'd not starve to lead the Fashion?
Starve! wheres the Beaux so very dull,
To think they'll starve with Crops so full?'
Published 19th May 1786, By S.W. Fores, at the caricature warehouse No. S. Piccadilly.
A wonderful presentation in very good condition. Ready to hang and enjoy.

A light social satire depicting a society dentist extracting a tooth from the mouth of a distressed young lady in an elegant drawing room, while two uniformed attendants and a young gentleman hide their sniggers and smirks at the comic verse below that, for all the dentist’s vast wealth, ‘Like many more twixt North and South, He does but live from Hand to Mouth’.
