Inglorious Artists
  1. An antique illustration showing people engaged in portrait painting. A painter, with a dark coat and artists' palette, works on a portrait of two individuals depicted in a humorous, caricaturized style. The portrait subjects, a woman in a red Empire-style dress and a man in a yellow outfit, are seated with green parrots on their arms. Wigs, easels, and other artworks enrich the indoor setting, emphasizing a scene of artists and portrait sitters.
