Waiting For The Wife
Fine Art Belfast Print
This study from St. George’s Market, Belfast, features two male figures on a bench.
Their wives are shopping and they are waiting for them.
Although there is a suggestion of the building’s ornate windows in the background, the two ‘waiting husbands’ are the focal point.

Waiting For The Wife
I’ve always found the Belfast term ‘The Wife’ humorous.
And I’ve met plenty of Belfast wives in my time that refer to their husband as ‘Him’ (which I find even funnier)!!
Either way, these two men are doing what they are told.
Neither looks like he wants to be there. But if they wait patiently that will ‘please her’. She will probably need a hand carrying the groceries home.
Huddled over a newspaper, the figure on the left’s body language suggests that he just wants bit of peace and quiet.
The other lad looks like he would enjoy a chat though. I imagine him to be cheeky a quick-witted. He looks at us directly in the eye.
And his belly!! He sits slightly awkwardly to accommodate it. His arms are crossed over and resting quite comfortably on it.
