Doctor Syntax, copying the wit of the window [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[1 April 1813]eng"Dr. Syntax, wearing his hat, stands in an inn breakfast-room, his back to the round table which is close to the (empty) grate, facing the window and writing in his note-book. A young man embraces a comely maidservant, and water from her kettle scalds the doctor. A dog seizes a chop from the table. There is an open wall-cupboard (right) containing punch-bowls, glasses, &c. A print of 'Catalani' singing and a picture of a jockey leading a horse are on the wall, and on the chimney-piece a notice headed 'Masonic Society'."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from item.Sheet trimmed within plate mark on three sides.In upper right corner of design: Plate 6.Variant state of no. 11512 in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.
