About this work

This print shows a crowded dining room where people sit at a long table. A waiter brings food while others eat, drink, and chat. The room is bright with big windows. Rowlandson loved to poke fun at daily life. Here he shows greedy diners ignoring anyone but their plates. Look closely: some faces blur into the wallpaper. Want to see more like this?
