A Half Pay Officer Who Has Been at Dinner with Captain Broad October 26, 1771 Matthew Darly British This image comes from a set of twenty-four caricatures that Matthew and Mary Darly published in 1771. A husband-and-wife team, the Darlys developed a new British print genre--small etched caricatures of single figures against plain backgrounds, their identities indicated through dress, pose and a few props. Many of these works mocked the fashionable manners of contemporary London dandies called "macaronis," and the Darly's wares soon became known as macaroni prints no matter what their subjects. The implied Italian connection was in fact appropriate, since the basic form was inspired by Ghezzi's caricature drawings brought back from Rome by Grand Tourists. The form and subjects adapted by the Darlys tickled British tastes and broadened the scope of Ghezzi's works to include a range of social classes, known figures, and types. Here, a military officer picks his teeth, wears a black milita

Study for a Portrait of an Officer and His Wife ca. 1756-58 Arthur Devis British Devis was the leading painter of "conversation pieces"-small genrelike portraits depicting two or more figures-active in England in the mid-eighteenth century. He made this study while at the height of his powers, and, though the doll-like personages demonstrate his continued reliance on dressed mannequins known as "lay figures," they also reveal his gradual adoption of more naturalistic poses and landscape settings. Here, an officer and his wife lean on a garden balustrade. Their love of outdoor pursuits is indicated by the just-plucked flower in the lady's hand and by her husband's riding outfit, complete with crop, spurs, and fashionable frock coat. Few drawings by Devis survive, but this one suggests the artist may have prepared detailed studies of his sitters to scale before painting them.
