About this work

A hand-coloured caricature print titled The Contrast by Robert Dighton shows a tavern interior with several men in tricorn hats and periwigs smoking clay pipes. A stout gentleman in a blue coat and yellow waistcoat leans on a cane in the foreground, while a thinner companion in a tan coat sits opposite him, and a woman in a blue-ribboned bonnet looks on from the background. The print's caption includes exaggerated dialogue lines printed beneath the scene.
