A tavern scene, Thomas Rowlandson, 1786,
British Museum.
Rowlandson's sketch depicts a raucous tavern. Perhaps this is the same tavern that he would later illustrate being
raided by a press gang. Among the revelers is a sailor embracing a woman who reaches for the punch ladle.
He wears a cap or round hat atop his head, a pair of trousers that end above the ankle, and a jacket that ends just below the waist.
