About the piece
Created in 1821 by the renowned British caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, this watercolor captures a scene from the humorous 'Dr. Syntax' series. The work features the eponymous character addressing a group of young women, rendered with the artist's characteristic expressive linework and soft, atmospheric washes that exemplify early 19th-century British satire.
