Not on view
Rowlandson and Woodward collaborated on this ebullient panel of heads tucked behind ribbons, as though into old-fashioned note boards. The dense gathering includes a preacher, a soldier, several well-dressed women, and a range of grotesque faces, and resembles a crowd assembled for a performance at the theater. Figures costumed as a Turk, a fanciful Hussar, and a Harlequin would be at home on the stage.
