1784
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Bookseller and Author is a 1784 ink by Thomas Rowlandson, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows three men in a room filled with books. One man is standing on a ladder, reaching for a book on a high shelf. The other two men are standing on the floor, looking at each other and holding papers. The room is cluttered with books, and there's a desk with papers and inkwells on it. The men are all wearing old-fashioned clothes, and they look like they're in the middle of a conversation. If you like this kind of scene, you might want to check out more works by the Romanticism movement.
