About the piece
Created around 1790 by the British artist Thomas Rowlandson, this watercolor captures the expressive energy of two opera singers. Dressed in the high fashion of the Georgian era with towering plumes and pearls, the figures are rendered with Rowlandson's signature fluid line and soft tonal washes, characteristic of his celebrated social satires and genre studies.
