"L'Anglais a la Promenade Tout Déconcertée" (The Englishman on his Walk Totally Disconcerted) is an anonymous etching and engraving from the 18th century. This satirical print mocks the fashion and manners of the English, with a man in an exaggerated wig being pursued by a woman with a large hat. The scene is filled with caricatures, suggesting a humorous commentary on social norms. The print, which is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a window into the artistic and cultural trends of 18th-century Europe.
