EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored etching by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "Six Stages Mending Face" is a satirical portrayal of an aging socialite's pursuit of youth and beauty. The print, dedicated to the Right Honorable Lady Archer, was created in London in 1792. Rowlandson mocks the extreme measures taken by this woman as she progressively mends her appearance throughout the six stages depicted. In the upper right corner, we see her bald head with fallen breasts and toothless mouth, half-blind and unadorned. However, as the stages progress, she transforms herself using various cosmetic enhancements. The lady archer begins by inserting a false eye and teeth to restore some semblance of normality. She then puts on a long curled wig to cover her baldness and regain her youthful allure. With each stage, we witness how she desperately tries to maintain her fading beauty through artificial means. This humorous artwork serves as a commentary on society's obsession with youthfulness and physical perfection. It highlights the lengths people would go to preserve their appearance during that era. The Liszt Collection presents this fascinating piece from British artist Thomas Rowlandson's portfolio without any commercial use intended for it.
