"A Tight Fit" is a pen-and-ink drawing by Charles Samuel Keene from 1872, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The drawing depicts a man in a cramped room, struggling to squeeze into his suit, with a humorous caption suggesting the tailor’s work is ill-fitting. Keene's work is known for its satirical social commentary, often portraying the foibles and absurdities of Victorian life.
