Description: | The fishseller~s basket in this scene is likely to be very smelly, but the plump young woman is nevertheless gazing coyly at him. She already has several small children around her. The heap of fat pigs adds to the atmosphere of happy semi-squalor. The London artist Thomas Rowlandson was famous for his caricatures. He painted many gently humorous pictures of rural life such as this. The picture is in his lively pen-and-ink drawing style, coloured with pale watercolour washes. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1775 to 1800 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Rowlandson | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
