Beauties Possibly 1792

"Beauties" is a hand-colored etching by English artist Thomas Rowlandson, likely created in 1792. The artwork depicts two women in fashionable attire, with exaggerated hats and elaborate dresses. Rowlandson was known for his satirical and often humorous depictions of social life in England, particularly during the Georgian period. This work, while not explicitly satirical, highlights the trends of the time and the importance of appearances in high society.
