About the piece
Part of Thomas Rowlandson’s 'Comforts of Bath' series from 1798, this watercolor captures the social bustle of a concert hall with the artist's signature wit. The scene is filled with a sea of expressive faces, from focused listeners to those humorously nodding off, all rendered in delicate ink lines and soft tonal washes.
