Joseph Ducreux's smirking self-portrait, the classic 'Archaic Rap' meme template for translating modern slang into fancy old-timey English. Free to caption.
Download the blank Joseph Ducreux template to caption it yourself, or add your text right here in the editor above and download the finished meme.
This is the self-portrait of 18th-century painter Joseph Ducreux, mid-smirk with a pointed finger, looking like he's about to drop the hottest bar of 1793. The internet decided his fancy pose was the perfect vessel for translating modern slang into ridiculously formal old English.
Classic use is rewriting song lyrics, tweets, or everyday phrases as if a Georgian aristocrat said them. Think 'Fine wine and cheese, gentlemen' instead of a rap lyric. It's been a meme staple for over a decade and it still absolutely slaps.
