La scène des deux carrosses. Artist: Claude Gillot (French, Langres 1673-1722 Paris). Dimensions: Sheet: 6 1/4 x 8 3/8 in. (15.9 x 21.3 cm). Date: ca. 1712-16.Primarily a graphic artist, Claude Gillot specialized in scenes of satire and whimsy, often using theatrical figures or satyrs as protagonists. Typically, his characters embody both the base human instincts that lend the scenes their humor and the elegant, dancelike comportment that situates them in the realm of witty Rococo divertissements. Gillot's ideas were transmitted to his most famous student, Antoine Watteau, whose fêtes galantes brought the fantasy and theatrical inspiration of Gillot's work into the mainstream of French art.The irreverence of the commedia dell'arte provided many of Gillot's most memorable subjects. This drawing relates to his best-known painting, Les deux carrosses (Musée du Louvre, Paris). It was directly inspired by a short sketch appended to a three-act comedy, Foire Saint Germain, which was first

Connoisseurs June 20, 1799 Thomas Rowlandson British Rowlandson here directs his visual wit against a group of elderly art enthusiasts who lean in appreciatively to examine a painting of Venus and Cupid. Their lecherous expressions, the voluptuous subject before them, and the biblical scene of Susanna and the elders on the wall behind all suggest that their devotion to art does not arise out of aesthetic appreciation alone. To create texture and shadow, the artist etched a network of fine lines, using touches of stipple to help define the forms. Rowlandson's publisher would have directed the watercolor additions..

Beauty and the Beast 18th-19th century Attributed to Thomas Rowlandson British A setting reminiscent of classical fable is used here to dramatize a moral dilemma relevant to the artist's day and to ours.

Wealth is a powerful temptation to youthful beauty. The rapid execution and rough washes indicate the drawing was conceived as a preliminary study.. Beauty and the Beast 354226

A Voluptuary Under the Horrors of Digestion. Artist: James Gillray (British, Chelsea 1756-1815 London). Dimensions: sheet: 14 3/8 x 11 9/16 in. (36.5 x 29.3 cm). Publisher: Hannah Humphrey (London). Date: July 2, 1792.Gillray's famously brutal caricature of George, Prince of Wales encapsulates the effects of uncontrolled self-indulgence upon the heir to the British throne. Sprawled in his chair after a lavish meal, the prince picks his teeth with a meat fork; his lack of gentility is underscored by the over-flowing chamber pot at his elbow used to anchor unpaid bills. Just thirty years old, his accumulated ailments can be inferred from remedies piled at right - pills and potions to treat "stinking breath", "piles" (hemorrhoids), venereal disease and poor digestion. A portrait on the wall suggests a more effective remedy - depicting Luigi Carnarro, a Venetian nobleman whose life was famously saved by going on a strict diet. By including "Voluptuary" in the title, Gillray invoked contemp
