About the piece
Created in 1817 by the renowned British caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, this watercolor captures the eccentricities of art observers in Mr. Michell's gallery. The scene is filled with Rowlandson's signature wit and fine line work, depicting a salon-style hanging that reflects the collection habits of the early 19th century.
