A Knowing One c. 1795

Robert Dighton's caricature, "A Knowing One," depicts a man in profile, dressed in a red coat with white buttons and a black hat. The subject's face is rendered with exaggerated features and his eyes are partially obscured by his hat, adding to the humorous effect. The image dates back to c. 1795, making it a prime example of satirical portraiture in 18th century England. The artwork is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
