| "Les Agents Provacateur" 54" x 40" Oil on Canvas Synopsis: This work is Lowe’s response to a nineteenth century Fuseli drawing Girl Combing Her Hair, Watched by a Young Man, c.1810-20. Lowe exaggerates the voyeuristic tension within this original work by adding more figures and staging a much more titillating scene. The young girl combing her hair is replaced with two others from a different Fuseli drawing, Two Lesbians Looking into a Mirror, c.1810-20. Another agent has been added, a fleshed-out male figure in red period clothing from Antoine Watteau’s Gilles and Four other |
| Characters, c.1719. Lowe has juxtaposed the foreground figures to frame the narrative, having been careful not to eclipse the unfurling erotic scene. |
