"Statesman No. 037° - Caricature of Thomas Dundas, 2nd Earl of Zetland" is a satirical caricature by James Tissot, created in 1869. The artwork depicts the Earl in full Masonic regalia, his features exaggerated for comedic effect. Tissot's signature style, evident in the meticulous detail and use of color, is employed to capture the pomposity of the subject. This work offers a glimpse into 19th-century British society, revealing the artist's keen eye for social commentary and his ability to blend humor with incisive observation.
