Comfort in the Gout is a 1785 ink by Thomas Rowlandson, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the painting, a man sits in a chair, wearing a red hat and a blue jacket. He has a bandage on his leg and looks uncomfortable. A woman stands beside him, holding a bottle and a glass. Another woman sits at a table, and a man sits on a couch behind her. A dog lies on the floor. The scene is set in a room with a table, chairs, and a couch. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, gray, and pink. The overall mood is one of discomfort and concern. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and individualism.
Thomas Rowlandson (; 13 July 1757 – 21 April 1827) was an English artist and caricaturist of the Georgian Era, noted for his political satire and social observation.
