Statesman No.131° - Caricature of Sir Francis Goldsmid M.P. 1872

James Tissot's 1872 caricature, "Statesman No. 131° - Caricature of Sir Francis Goldsmid M.P.", depicts the British politician Sir Francis Goldsmid in a humorous style. Known for his satirical illustrations in publications like Vanity Fair, Tissot exaggerates Goldsmid's features, particularly his nose and mouth, creating a comedic effect. The artwork serves as a social commentary on the prominent figures of Victorian England. The caricature's vibrant colors and detailed depiction of Goldsmid's attire contribute to its visual appeal.
