This caricature, drawn by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard between 1743 and 1809, portrays a stout man walking to the left. The figure is depicted in profile, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a buttoned coat. The man is holding a large key in his left hand, adding to the humorous exaggeration of the drawing. Abildgaard's satirical style highlights the man's physical appearance, inviting viewers to contemplate the social commentary within the work. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is a prime example of Abildgaard's talent for capturing both the humorous and the critical aspects of human nature.
