EDITORS COMMENTS
Captain Jessamy, a dapper gentleman of the 18th century, is depicted in this stunning mezzotint print titled "CAPT JESSAMY learning the PROPER DISCIPLINE OF THE COUCH." The image, hand-coloured with watercolour and gouache, was printed and published in London by Carington Bowles around 1782. The single vertical composition showcases Captain Jessamy reclining on a red velvet couch, surrounded by a lush, green interior. His elegant attire, complete with a waistcoat and breeches, contrasts beautifully with the rich hues of the room. A pet dog lies obediently at his feet, adding a touch of domestic warmth to the scene. The title of the print suggests that Captain Jessamy is being taught the proper discipline of the couch, indicating that this may be a lesson in etiquette or manners. The woman, who stands behind him, dressed in a flowing gown and holding a fan, may be his instructor. Her expression is serious, yet compassionate, as she guides him in the art of proper posture and relaxation. The intricacies of the mezzotint technique are evident in the textured details of the fabric, the fur of the dog, and the delicate folds of the woman's gown. The use of watercolour and gouache for hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the scene to life. This beautiful print is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the 18th century. It captures a moment of quiet domesticity and instruction, offering a glimpse into the lives of the well-to-do during this time period.
