Directions to Footmen
Thomas Rowlandson|Thomas Tegg
November 10, 1807 · Hand-colored etching · Drawings and Prints
An untidy footman stands by the dinner table and lets a tureen slide on to the table so that its contents pour out. He holds a dish containing a leg of mutton in his left hand, held so that joint and gravy fall to the floor, while a dog waits expectantly at right. The two women at the table look at him, mouths agape.
