The Politician
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by John Keyse Sherwin, created in 1775. This intriguing artwork, based on an original painting by William Hogarth, depicts a male figure seated in full length and profile. The subject of the etching is portrayed as a caricature, with exaggerated features and comical elements. In this whimsical scene, the politician appears completely engrossed in his reading material, seemingly unaware of his surroundings. As he delves into the pages before him, his hat catches fire from a nearby candle. The obliviousness and absent-mindedness of the character add to the humor and satire present in this piece. Sherwin's skillful execution brings out every detail of this Georgian-era scene. Through intricate lines and shading techniques, he captures not only the physical attributes but also conveys a sense of personality through facial expressions. This print offers viewers an amusing glimpse into political life during that time period. It serves as both social commentary and entertainment for those who appreciate satirical art forms. Now part of a private collection, "The Politician" continues to delight audiences with its clever depiction of an accident-prone statesman lost in his own world. Its timeless appeal reminds us that even centuries ago, politicians were not immune to mishaps or moments of distraction.
