EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Four o Clock in Town" captures a humorous scene from the late 18th century. Created by Thomas Rowlandson, a renowned caricaturist of his time, this coloured etching with aquatint offers a glimpse into the bustling nightlife of the era. In this particular image, we see a tired and slightly disheveled soldier stumbling into his bedroom after a night out on the town. The artist skillfully portrays the exhaustion and drunkenness of the male protagonist through exaggerated facial expressions and body language. This print is part of a pair that includes another artwork depicting the husband waking up early to join a hunt, creating an interesting contrast between two different lifestyles. While one embraces the excitement and revelry of city life at night, the other represents early morning pursuits associated with rural activities. Measuring 22.9x30.5 cm, this piece belongs to a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Bridgeman Images. With its witty portrayal of social customs and human behavior, "Four o Clock in Town" remains an amusing reminder of how people sought entertainment during that period. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression, showcasing Rowlandson's talent for capturing everyday life in an engaging manner.
