EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing "Old Q or A Worn Out Debauchee" in all his faded glory. Painted by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson in 1790, this portrait depicts William Douglas, the 3rd Earl March and Fourth Duke of Queensbury (1725-1810). The original watercolor drawing is now treasured by Lady Dorothy Nevill. Set against an outdoor backdrop, we see two individuals strolling through the day. The man wears a tricorn hat and dons fashionable clothes from the 18th century. His worn-out appearance suggests a life filled with debauchery and excesses. On his face, one can almost read traces of snobbery mixed with weariness. Beside him stands a lady dressed in regal attire befitting her noble status. Her pastel-colored dress exudes elegance as she accompanies the aging duke on their rambling walk. This image serves as both satire and commentary on aristocracy during that time period. The print's muted tones and delicate brushstrokes add to its charm, evoking nostalgia for an era long gone but not forgotten. It is no wonder that this piece found its place within "The Connoisseur". Volume II - a testament to its artistic merit. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to the 18th century where royalty mingled with commoners amidst grandeur and decadence.
