watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A House and Figures is a 1780 watercolor by Thomas Rowlandson, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a house with people and animals outside. The house is on the left, with a porch and a tree in front of it. There are many people standing around, some talking to each other, and a few dogs running around. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and the house looks like it's from a long time ago. The painting is done in watercolor, with soft colors that give it a gentle feel. If you like this kind of painting, you might want to check out more works by the artist Rowlandson.
