About this work

This print shows a cozy room with a family playing music together. A dad fiddles while two kids clap along and a woman sings. The artist catches their happy faces and messy sheet music. Thomas Rowlandson made this in 1802. He loved drawing everyday life with a funny twist. The scene feels alive, like you just walked in. Check out more by Rowlandson, Thomas.
