Sunday Walk, Caricature 

Curator: This is an 18th-century caricature entitled 'Sunday Walk' by an unknown artist from the British School, housed here at the Tate. Editor: Oh, it's hilarious! They look puffed up and terribly important, waddling along. Curator: Caricatures like this were popular social commentary, often poking fun at the wealthy. Their exaggerated features and clothing were designed to ridicule. Editor: I love how sketchy and loose it is. It feels like a quick jab, a fleeting impression captured on paper, you can almost feel the breeze on their faces. Curator: Precisely, the British School excelled at these witty observations of class and manners. It really reflects a society grappling with its own inequalities. Editor: Absolutely. You know, it’s so simple, yet it's so evocative. I find them oddly charming, even in their pomposity. Curator: Indeed, it's a testament to the artist's skill that even without a known name, the work continues to resonate. Editor: A little reminder that we all have our Sunday strolls, our little parades.
