Taking a Mean Advantage, c1780-1825. Creator: Thomas Rowlandson
Taking a Mean Advantage, c1780-1825. A man leers at his female companions thigh which is revealed as she climbs over a gate. In this amusing and somewhat stylized composition, we cannot fail to see certain resemblances to Antoine Watteaus interpretation of country scenes, even to the dress of the characters and the humor of the situation. Yet beyond this, the handling, both in color and freedom of drawing, is unmistakably that of the English master. From " The Watercolour Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson from the Albert H. Wiggin Collection in the Boston Public Library" with commentary by Arthur W. Heintzelman. [Watson-Guptill Publications, Inc. New York, 1947]

Taking a Mean Advantage, c1780-1825 - A Playful Glimpse into Rural Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "Taking a Mean Advantage" we are transported to the charming countryside of 18th and 19th century Britain. The scene unfolds as a group of women elegantly traverse over a gate, their flowing dresses reminiscent of Antoine Watteau's country scenes. However, it is the mischievous male figure in the foreground that steals our attention. With an unmistakable leer on his face, he slyly gazes at one woman's exposed thigh as she gracefully climbs over the gate. This humorous situation adds an element of light-heartedness to the composition. Rowlandson's skillful handling of color and freedom in drawing showcases his mastery as an English artist. The print not only captures rural life but also reflects regionalism through its depiction of rustic characters and their attire. The detailed stockings worn by both men and women add authenticity to the scene while highlighting societal norms and fashion trends of that era. This artwork is part of "The Watercolour Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson from the Albert H. Wiggin Collection in the Boston Public Library". With commentary by Arthur W. Heintzelman, this collection offers insight into Rowlandson's artistic style and provides viewers with a delightful glimpse into everyday life during this period.
