Description: | IU CRE DAWE, Philip; (English; 1745?-1809?) AFTER MORLAND, Henry Robert; (English; c.1730-1797) PUB SAYER, Robert; (English; 1725-1793/4) NFA assisted purchase. This is a popular print with clear sexual connotations. The girl has fallen asleep and the boy is trying - unsuccessfully - to make her sneeze by tickling her nose with strands of wool. Philip Dawe was Henry Morland's principal engraver and scraped a number of his paintings in mezzotint, exhibiting ten with the Free Society from London addresses between 1769 and 1775. These, and other early works such as Female Lucubration (1772) or The Unluncky Boy (1772), are intriguing studies of servant maids and children in artificial light. | 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: | GENRE : POPULAR PRINT : WOOL : CANDLE : SNEEZE : | 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 |
