Royal Cock Pit is a 1808 ink by Thomas Rowlandson, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a crowded room with a large circular pit in the center. The pit is surrounded by people, some of whom are standing and others who are seated. The room has tall windows on the left side and a balcony on the right. In the center of the pit, two roosters are fighting, while the people around them are cheering and placing bets. The atmosphere appears to be lively and intense, with the crowd fully engaged in the cockfighting event.
