專家說明

In the 18th and 19th Centuries, a bear-leader was a colloquial term for someone who escorted wealthy and aristocratic young gentlemen on the Grand Tour. The role incorporated elements of tutor, guardian, companion and chaperone. Here, Rowlandson depicts a precocious young man watched over by his much larger and older tutor.
