EDITORS COMMENTS
The Disappointment captures a moment of scandal and surprise as an old woman interrupts an amorous couple in a hotel room. The scene is further complicated by the presence of a peeping Tom watching from behind a folding screen, adding an element of voyeurism to the already tense situation. This copperplate engraving by Thomas Sanders after a satirical illustration by Timothy Bobbin (John Collier) from 1773 is filled with intricate details that invite viewers to explore the complexities of human passions and moral dilemmas.
The composition is rich in symbolism, with elements such as wine glasses, facial expressions, and body language conveying layers of meaning about love, betrayal, and disappointment. The use of satire adds a humorous touch to the scene while also highlighting societal norms and expectations surrounding relationships and privacy.
As we gaze upon this print, we are drawn into a world where secrets are exposed and emotions run high. The artist's skillful rendering brings each character to life, inviting us to ponder their motivations and reactions. The Disappointment serves as a reminder that even in moments of intimacy, there can be unexpected interruptions that challenge our perceptions and assumptions about human behavior.
