Carse's often caricatured rendering of village life was partly influenced by Dutch genre scenes, as shown by the distortion of the faces in grotesque grimace. In this burlesque scene, typical of the artist, the theme of rage is present throughout, from the main characters arguing in the foreground to the woman pursuing her pig on the right. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ARGUMENT : SCOTLAND : GENRE : PUBLIC HOUSE : VILLAGE : FIGURE : PICTURESQUE : SCOTTISH 19TH CENTURY : 2004 : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
