The Review
Thomas Rowlandson
ca. 1800 · Watercolor, pen and ink, brush and wash · Drawings and Prints
Rowlandson gently satirizes military men, with the long blue coat of the central officer suggesting that he is a navy officer. The company seems to await orders, as officers stand with legs apart and arms crossed, and figures at right have laid their drums on the ground. Full-coated uniforms such as this were in fashion in the middle of the eighteenth century, a period just before Rowlandson's own.
