A nincompoop, or, Hen peck'd husband [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[not before 24 April 1807]eng"A small ugly man trots (left to right) deprecatingly beside his wife, a large, over-dressed, scowling termagant, on their Sunday outing. He carries her umbrella, cloak, pattens, and a bundle in a check handkerchief. She holds a fan. An elderly man (right) walking in the opposite direction looks angrily at the couple; he swaggers in front of his pretty young wife, who appears pregnant and walks carrying a little girl and an umbrella. Behind them is an inn with the sign: 'The Old Swant [sic] Ordinary on Sunday'. A couple sit on a bench."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier stateTitle etched below image.Later state, with first half of imprint statement burnished from plate.Cf.
