Painting Description
"College Jockies, The Landlord Sweating for his Cattle" is a satirical print created by the renowned British artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, and published by E. Jackson in 1786. Rowlandson, known for his keen eye for social commentary and his ability to capture the absurdities of 18th-century British life, employs his characteristic wit and humor in this work to critique and lampoon the societal norms and behaviors of his time.
The print depicts a humorous and exaggerated scene involving college students, referred to as "jockies," and a distressed landlord. The term "jockies" in this context likely refers to young men, possibly university students, who are engaged in some form of mischievous or sportive activity. The landlord, portrayed in a state of anxiety or agitation, is concerned about his cattle, which are central to the scene's narrative and humor. Rowlandson's use of expressive lines and dynamic composition brings the characters to life, emphasizing their exaggerated emotions and actions.
Rowlandson's work often reflected the social and political climate of late 18th-century Britain, and "College Jockies, The Landlord Sweating for his Cattle" is no exception. The print can be seen as a commentary on the behavior of the youth and the challenges faced by those in positions of responsibility, such as landlords. It also highlights the artist's ability to blend humor with critique, making his work both entertaining and thought-provoking.
As with many of Rowlandson's prints, this piece would have been accessible to a broad audience, offering both amusement and a subtle critique of contemporary society. The publication by E. Jackson in 1786 places it within a significant period of Rowlandson's career, during which he produced numerous works that captured the spirit and follies of his age.
