Painting Description
"Dr. Syntax Bargaining for Ducks" is a satirical print by the English artist Thomas Rowlandson, created in the early 19th century. The artwork is part of the "Dr. Syntax" series, which follows the humorous misadventures of the fictional character Dr. Syntax, a caricature of a rural parson. Rowlandson's series became widely popular for its comedic portrayal of British society and its eccentricities.
The print depicts Dr. Syntax haggling over the price of ducks with a countrywoman, capturing the whimsical and often absurd nature of rural commerce. Rowlandson's mastery of caricature is evident in the exaggerated expressions and postures of the characters, which serve to enhance the comedic effect of the scene. The artwork is characterized by its fine line work, attention to detail, and vibrant use of watercolors, typical of Rowlandson's style.
As a significant contribution to the genre of satirical prints, "Dr. Syntax Bargaining for Ducks" reflects the social commentary and cultural observations of the Georgian era. The series, including this print, was published in collaboration with the poet William Combe, whose accompanying verses further popularized Rowlandson's illustrations. Together, the works of Rowlandson and Combe offer a rich and entertaining insight into the follies and vices of early 19th-century England.
"Dr. Syntax Bargaining for Ducks" remains an important example of British satirical art and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance. The print is held in various collections and has been exhibited in museums, serving as a testament to Thomas Rowlandson's enduring legacy as a social satirist and skilled artist.
