Unwelcome Attentions, 1839

EDITORS COMMENTS
by Robert William Buss captures a poignant moment in history through its oil on canvas composition. Set in an opulent interior, the painting depicts a scene of courtship gone awry. The central figure, an obese woman, is shown rejecting the advances of her suitor with clear displeasure. The artist skillfully portrays the complex dynamics at play within this narrative. The fat lady's unwillingness to engage in this unwanted courtship is evident as she pulls away from her lover's grasp. Her portly figure serves as a symbol of power and resistance against societal expectations. Meanwhile, a male servant and maid observe the compromising position from afar, highlighting themes of voyeurism and sexual harassment that were prevalent during that era. Their presence adds depth to the narrative by shedding light on how such situations were often witnessed but rarely addressed. Buss masterfully captures both attraction and rejection within this single frame. Through their intertwined hands, we see remnants of what was once affection between two sweethearts now dissolved due to unwelcome attentions. This thought-provoking painting serves as a reminder that love can be complicated and sometimes takes unexpected turns. It invites viewers to reflect upon issues surrounding consent and personal boundaries while appreciating Buss' artistic prowess in capturing human emotions so vividly on canvas.
