The Reflection
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink with watercolor on paper print by Thomas Rowlandson. This 11.4x15.9 cm artwork, housed in the Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, USA, showcases Rowlandson's mastery of social satire and caricature. In this humorous cartoon-like scene set in the Regency era, we witness an outrageously amusing piano lesson unfolding before our eyes. The image captures a young girl engaged in flirtation with her amorous teacher while her father looks on furiously from behind a curtain, playing the role of an unexpected voyeur. Rowlandson's satirical genius shines through as he expertly portrays the various emotions at play - from anger and rage to playful flirting and mischief. The composition cleverly depicts the dynamics between lovers caught in their secret rendezvous amidst a music lesson. This delightful piece offers us a glimpse into the c18th society where social norms were often challenged or bent under hidden desires and forbidden pleasures. Through his witty portrayal of characters entangled in this comical scenario, Rowlandson invites us to reflect upon human nature and its inclination towards indulging in the seven deadly sins. "The Reflection" is not just a painting; it is an invitation to explore complex feelings and emotions that transcend time periods. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today as it serves as both entertainment and commentary on human behavior throughout history.
