Isaac Cruikshank - Satirical Print of Caleb Whitefoord

The Scotsman Caleb Whitefoord was a well-known public figure in Cruikshank’s time and featured often in satirical prints. Besides being a wine merchant, diplomat and writer, he was an expert in Old Masters. He was also a notorious collector of erotic art. Thus he has here found his way to a corner full of classic nude beauties, including the Three Graces at lower right.
