Created in 1862, this work exemplifies Nicol's skill in combining humor with a keen observation of human nature, a characteristic that made his paintings widely appreciated during his time.

The painting portrays two figures, typically interpreted as a man and a boy, engaged in a moment of shared confusion or contemplation. The setting is a modest interior, rendered with Nicol's characteristic attention to detail and texture, which brings the scene to life. The expressions and body language of the subjects are meticulously crafted, capturing a sense of puzzlement that is both specific to the individuals and universally relatable.

Erskine Nicol's ability to infuse his scenes with narrative depth and emotional resonance is evident in "Both Puzzled!". The painting invites viewers to ponder the nature of the characters' confusion, encouraging a deeper engagement with the scene. This work, like many of Nicol's, reflects his interest in the subtleties of human interaction and the small dramas of everyday life.
