"Two Bust-length Caricatures" by Robert Dighton is a graphite drawing from the late 18th or early 19th century that depicts two men in profile, one with a hat, the other with powdered hair and a bow tie. Dighton was a renowned English caricaturist, and his work often featured exaggerated features and humorous depictions of social figures. The drawing, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Dighton's skilled use of line and detail to create a satirical and entertaining portrayal of his subjects.
