EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating artwork titled "Fish Fags" by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London. In this humorous caricature, Rowlandson skillfully captures the lively atmosphere of Billingsgate Market, known for its fish trade. The scene depicts a wife and seller engaged in a spirited exchange over baskets filled with an assortment of fish. The artist's use of pen, watercolor, and pencil on paper brings out the vibrancy and energy of the market setting. Through his witty portrayal, Rowlandson playfully highlights the unique characters that inhabit this vibrant marketplace. As we delve into this delightful painting, we are transported to a world where wives take charge as they haggle with sellers over their desired purchases. The intricate details in each stroke reveal the artist's keen observation skills and ability to capture human expressions. This 12.7x18.4 cm print from a private collection offers viewers an intimate glimpse into everyday life during Rowlandson's era.
