A Quiet Doze After Dinner
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a whimsical moment in the lives of the upper class during the Georgian era. In this hand-coloured engraving by H. Pyall, we are transported to an elegant interior where a gentleman has succumbed to post-dinner drowsiness. Seated comfortably in an ornate chair next to a crackling fireplace, he rests his head on one hand while holding onto his walking stick with the other. The scene is filled with subtle humor as the man's profile reveals a contented expression, hinting at the indulgence of fine food and perhaps a glass or two of port. His loyal canine companion lies curled up at his feet, mirroring his master's peaceful slumber. This caricature-like portrayal offers us a glimpse into domestic life and leisurely evenings enjoyed by those belonging to high society. The artist skillfully captures both the opulence of their surroundings and their ability to find relaxation even amidst grandeur. Published by Thomas McLean and now part of The Stapleton Collection, this print invites us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as it provides insight into 19th-century British culture. As we gaze upon this charming image, we can almost hear the hushed whispers and feel the warmth emanating from that cozy hearth – reminding us that even in times long past, moments of quiet repose were cherished by all classes alike.
