A Tight Fit, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Samuel Keene is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century Britain. This humorous artwork showcases Keene's exceptional talent in capturing everyday life with a touch of wit and charm. In this delightful cartoon, we find ourselves amidst a scene filled with double entendre and clever puns. A tipsy gentleman, clearly under the influence of alcohol, struggles comically to button up his tight-fitting waistcoat. With ink strokes expertly executed by Keene's pen, we witness the man's hilarious struggle as he attempts to tame his unruly attire. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece. From the intricate mirror reflection highlighting the man's disheveled appearance to the carefully sketched haberdashery items surrounding him, each element adds depth and character to the overall composition. Keene's use of gouache brings an additional layer of visual interest through its contrasting tones of white and black. The monochromatic palette enhances both the humor and timelessness captured within this Victorian-era snapshot. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), "A Tight Fit" stands as a testament to Charles Samuel Keene's artistic prowess and ability to evoke laughter through his satirical sketches. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of drunkenness or misfortune, there is always room for lightheartedness in our lives.
