Atrrib. Thomas Rowlandson
Atrrib. Thomas Rowlandson (1757–1827) - c. 1798 Watercolour, The Start

Unknown

About the Item

A humorous late Georgian cartoon, showing the chaotic start to a horse race as one of the horses goes out of control and runs into the spectators, sending them fleeing. The scene appears to be a take on the original by Thomas Rowlandson. The original watercolour cartoon came from a series called "Racing," depicting humorous moments in horse racing which was published in 1798. This particular drawing may likely be a first draft of the scene by Rowlandson, as the composition and subject matter are very similar. The style and technique is almost identical. This may have been a rejected composition before the finalized image went to print. Confidently attribute this work to Thomas Rowlandson. The drawing has been presented in a contemporary Hogarth style frame with wash-line mount and glazing. On wove.
