Lot 368: A Pair of Hand-Coloured Etchings in the Style of Thomas Rowlandson
A pair of hand-coloured etchings on paper, depicting satirical genre scenes with numerous figures in the 18th-century British tradition. The works are executed in the style of Thomas Rowlandson. Each print features fine etched line work with hand-applied colour and exhibits clear rectangular plate marks around the image area. Printed marks are present in the lower margins of both works, though the characters are not clearly legible for definitive transcription. No edition, publisher, or printer information is visible. The items are presented in dark green mounts within gilt-finished wooden frames.
Condition report:
The impressions are of good quality with well-preserved colour. The paper displays light, even toning consistent with age, with no significant foxing, tears, or obvious signs of plate wear. The frames are in good overall condition, although some minor surface debris is trapped under the glass of the right-hand frame.
