This print captures David Garrick in his role as John Brute, the comedic character from John Vanbrugh's play "The Provok'd Wife". Painted by Johann Zoffany around 1763, this oil on canvas artwork measures 75x62 cm and is currently housed at The Holburne Museum in Bath, UK. Garrick, a renowned English actor and playwright of the 18th century, was known for his influential contributions to theatrical practice. He was also a close friend and pupil of Dr Samuel Johnson. In this particular scene from the play, Sir John Brute finds himself in a comical predicament after stealing his wife's clothes during a drunken escapade with friends. Now dressed as a woman, he defiantly resists arrest. The painting beautifully captures the essence of Georgian British theatre with its vibrant colors and attention to detail. Garrick's portrayal of Brute is both humorous and expressive as he poses fearfully while clutching a weapon. The cross-dressing element adds an extra layer of comedy to the scene. Part of The Somerset Maugham Collection transferred from the National Theatre, this artwork showcases Zoffany's talent for capturing theatrical moments on canvas. It serves as a testament to Garrick's exceptional acting skills and enduring legacy in the world of theater.
