{"product_id":"the-old-maid-thomas-rowlandson","title":"The Old Maid - Thomas Rowlandson","description":"\u003cp\u003eA satirical etching by Thomas Rowlandson, 'The Old Maid' depicts an older woman attempting to rejuvenate her appearance with the help of two younger attendants, while her mirror reveals a less flattering truth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThomas Rowlandson, a British artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is best known for his satirical caricatures and social commentaries. Rowlandson's prints often lampooned the follies and excesses of Georgian society, employing a distinctive style characterised by energetic lines and humorous exaggeration. His work provides insight into the social customs and attitudes of his time. 'The Old Maid' presents a scene of vanity and self-deception. An older woman, adorned with flowers and jewellery, gazes at her reflection in a mirror. Two younger women attend to her, one adjusting her hair and the other holding a feather. The mirror reflects a more realistic, less flattering image of the woman, highlighting the contrast between her perceived beauty and her actual appearance. The print is rich with detail, from the ornate mirror frame to the textures of the fabrics and the expressions on the figures' faces. The inscription below the image adds to the satirical tone, commenting on the woman's attempts to appear younger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/night-shadows-edward-hopper\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNight Shadows - Edward Hopper — Edward Hopper\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/man-and-woman-contemplating-the-remains-of-their-burnt-down-house-caspar-david-friedrich\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMan and Woman Contemplating the Remains of Their Burnt-Down House - Caspar David Friedrich — Caspar David Friedrich\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thomas Rowlandson","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57611502321999,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57611505205583,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57611505238351,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57611505271119,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57611505303887,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57611505336655,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57611505369423,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57611505402191,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57611505434959,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57611505467727,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57611505500495,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57611505533263,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57611505566031,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57611505598799,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57611505631567,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57611505664335,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57611505697103,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57611505729871,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57611505762639,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57611505795407,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_0fdaaa77-b59a-49c0-9156-8fe1217dee9f.jpg?v=1777771993","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/the-old-maid-thomas-rowlandson","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
