Patience on a Monument - A Satirical Twist on Aristocratic Etiquette
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hand-coloured engraving titled "Patience on a Monument" created by James Gillray in 1791, we are presented with a humorous and scatological parody of classical sculpture. The print features Lady Henrietta Cecilia Johnston, an aristocratic society beauty of the time, seated on a lavatory with an intense gaze and furrowed brow. The artist skillfully combines elements of social satire and ridicule to portray Lady Johnston's constipated state. As she sits atop the toilet, surrounded by finery and adorned in elegant attire, her boredom is evident as she waits patiently for relief from her discomfort. Notably, the inscription on the monument behind her reads "Patience". This adds another layer of irony to the scene as it juxtaposes patience with the unpleasant stench emanating from below. Gillray employs various symbolic elements such as putti holding their noses in disgust and skull and crossbones motifs to heighten the satirical nature of his caricature. The presence of cherubs further emphasizes Lady Johnston's matronly status while also mocking traditional notions of beauty. Through this clever composition, Gillray offers viewers a comical critique of aristocratic etiquette during Georgian times. With its witty commentary on bodily functions and societal expectations, "Patience on a Monument" remains an enduring example of satirical art that challenges conventional norms with humor and irreverence.
