The Gay Lothario - A Flamboyant Figure of Fashion and Theatricality
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured engraving, titled "The Gay Lothario. The Great and Celebrated Amateur of Fashion" offers a glimpse into the eccentric world of Robert Coates, a renowned figure in 19th-century England. Known for his flamboyant style and theatrical pursuits, Coates was an enigmatic character who captivated audiences with his unique persona. In this vibrant print, we witness the essence of Coates' larger-than-life personality. Dressed in an extravagant tunic adorned with enormous feathers and a sash cinched around his waist, he exudes confidence as he brandishes a sword with flair. His harlequin cloak billows behind him, adding to the drama that surrounds him. Coates' caricature-like appearance is further enhanced by the presence of a clown nearby, emphasizing his association with the theatrical world. Positioned in a theatre box, it becomes evident that this image captures not only Coates' fashion sense but also his passion for performance. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every plume on Coates' hat seems to dance along with his movements. This engraving serves as both documentation and celebration of an individual whose idiosyncratic style left an indelible mark on English society during this era. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece from our private collection today, we are reminded of how one man's eccentricities can become immortalized
