Karrikatur af herre siddende i en høj stol 1781 - 1791

"Karrikatur af herre siddende i en høj stol" (Caricature of a Gentleman Seated in a High Chair), created between 1781 and 1791 by Danish artist Marie Jeanne Clemens, is a pen-and-ink drawing showcasing a humorous portrayal of a gentleman. The caricature, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts the subject in profile, seated in a high-backed chair, his exaggerated features and pose lending themselves to the satirical nature of the piece. Clemens, known for her lively and often critical portrayals, captured the essence of her subject with a deft hand, highlighting both his physical characteristics and social standing. The drawing, measuring 189 mm (height) x 116 mm (width), is a testament to Clemens's ability to capture personality and social commentary through her art.
