| | A masterly drawing by Thomas Rowlandson. As the lawyer reads the will on the coffin each character registers a different reaction. A lady is revived with the vapours, a beneficiary cheers and raises his hat, dogs bark . . . meanwhile, the deceased's ghost watches from the doorway.The image measures 10'' x 6.5'' and is supplied in a gilt frame measuring 16" x 13". It is ideal for firm's handling wills and probate.Thomas Rowlandson, the son of an unsuccessful businessman, was born in London in July 1756 and is regarded as one of the best chronicler's of London life at the time. Many of the subjects he drew concerned the law and politics, which, along with his addiction to gambling, landed Rowlandson in trouble with the authorities on several occasions. | | Price: £46.81 | | In stock, usually dispatched within 24 hours | | Show price in:    | |
