More about this artwork

Titled "A Very Fat Woman" (1906), this engaging artwork by Albert Engström displays a satirical and caricatural prowess that is emblematic of his distinctive style. The painting features two figures apparently engaged in conversation. To the left is a man, robustly depicted with exaggerated facial features including a large rounded nose and thick lips, wearing a bowler hat and spectacles. His form spills jovially out of his coat which is tightly buttoned, and he's making a point by holding up one finger.On the right, a woman is illustrated with bold, sweeping lines that emphasize her hefty build. She wears a voluminous black dress adorned with a flamboyant hat decorated with curled elements reminiscent of feathers or leaves. Engström has captured a moment of expressive interaction, perhaps a debate or a polite discourse, marked by the woman's covered mouth gesture and her slightly furrowed brow.The background of the drawing is minimal, focusing attention squarely on the interaction between the two characters. The overall effect is both humorous and contemplative, inviting the viewer to ponder the social or personal context of the conversation.
