A Naked Truth, or Nipping Frost 1803

"A Naked Truth, or Nipping Frost" (1803) by Charles Williams is a satirical print depicting a group of fashionable women bundled up in winter attire, being pursued by a monstrous figure of frost personified. This humorous artwork comments on the societal preoccupation with fashion, even in the face of harsh weather conditions. The women are depicted in caricature, with their faces obscured by their large hats and mufflers. Williams' use of color and detail creates a sense of both amusement and critique, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
