The Breakfast
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous print by Thomas Rowlandson, showcasing his talent for caricature. This watercolor and ink masterpiece, created on paper in the late 18th or early 19th century, captures a rowdy gathering at Bath's comforts. The scene is filled with laughter, lechery, and an overall sense of merriment. The artist skillfully portrays a society feast where individuals from different walks of life come together to enjoy their morning meal. Seated around a crowded dining table, they wear extravagant hats that add to the eccentricity of the scene. Rowlandson's attention to detail brings out the unique characteristics of each character present. This satirical artwork provides insight into Georgian and Regency social gatherings while also poking fun at societal norms. With its bawdy undertones and lecherous atmosphere, "The Breakfast" offers viewers an amusing glimpse into this era's customs. Currently housed in Yale Center for British Art as part of the Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this print showcases Rowlandson's mastery in capturing both physical likeness and exaggerated expressions. It serves as a testament to his ability to create lively scenes that entertain audiences even centuries later.
