The artwork titled “Statesman No.090° – Caricature of George William Pierrepont Bentinck M.P.” was created by James Tissot in 1871. This piece falls under the Realism art movement and belongs to the “Statesman (Caricatures)” series. The genre of the artwork is caricature.
In the artwork, Bentinck is depicted with exaggerated features, accentuating his stern and pensive expression. He is seated, dressed in a formal suit typical of the period, with a hand resting on his hip and the other on his knee, conveying a sense of authority and contemplation. The overall composition and style reflect the detailed and realistic approach of Tissot, merged with the whimsical and distorted elements characteristic of caricature.
