Forward march, go on. By Robson. (c1850s)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous ink wash drawing by the renowned Swedish artist, Fritz Ludvig von Dardel (1823-1909), also known as Fritz von Dardel. Created in the 1850s, this illustration showcases the artist's exceptional skill in caricature and satire. The drawing depicts a plump, overweight man, seated in a high-backed chair, with a stern expression on his face and a hand on his hip. He wears a grand, striped suit and a voluminous moustache, signifying his upper-class status. The man is gesturing forward with his other hand, urging someone or something to move forward. The title of the drawing, "Forward march, go on," adds to the sense of urgency and determination. The man's posture and facial expression convey a sense of arrogance and impatience, while the use of color and shading adds depth and texture to the drawing. The chair and the furniture in the background are depicted in sepia tones, adding to the antiquated and nostalgic feel of the illustration. Fritz von Dardel was a prolific artist and illustrator, known for his satirical and humorous works. This drawing is a testament to his ability to capture the absurdities and quirks of human behavior in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The Nordic Museum Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden, holds a large collection of Fritz von Dardel's works, including this one, which is a valuable addition to the heritage of Nordic art. Overall, "Forward march, go on. By Robson. (c1850s)" is a delightful and intriguing piece of art that invites the viewer to ponder the meaning behind the man's urging and the implications of his posture and expression. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century and the enduring appeal of caricature and satire as a means of commenting on society and human behavior.
