Cat in a bowl [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[not before 24 April 1811]eng"Scene by a roadside pond opposite a picturesque inn (right). A few country-people watch a distressed cat in a bowl which floats precariously. An angry old woman strides into the water to rescue the animal, but is restrained by a friend. Other spectators watch with amused delight; they wear holiday finery, imitating fashionable dress. A boy, holding back a dog, and a girl sit together on the bank. A young couple in a gig at the inn-door watch the cat. Behind the pond (left) a tandem runs away overturning a gig."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Reissue; imprint has been completely burnished from plate.Publication information inferred from earlier state with the imprint "Pubd.
