Emerging from an era of burgeoning caricature, Howarth’s work exemplifies a fine balance between draughtsmanship and incisive commentary. The artist’s penchant for fine brushwork imbues the piece with an aura of intimacy, inviting the viewer to ponder the unwitting transposition of coats rather than the social implications that might arise from it.Upon enlargement to 44×49 inches, the black and white palette of “Chivalrous man inadvertently swapping his coat with a woman’s” assumes an almost three-dimensional quality.
