plate from the Dr Syntax series
"Doctor Syntax loses his Wig"
14 x 23cms
Drawing after a print by Thomas Rowlandson, the British artist and satirist. This magnificent drawing of things collapsing is typical of his brilliant pen drawing technique - at the heart of his ability to suggest movement and interaction.
From Joseph Grego's Rowlandson the Caricaturist, Chatto and Windus, London 1880. "Chaos is Come Again'.
