Market Day, c1780-1825. Creator: Thomas Rowlandson
Market Day, c1780-1825. It is interesting to note Rowlandsons love of drawing animals, especially horses and dogs. They give life and naturalness to his market and tavern scenes and are just as remarkable as his characters, not only for fidelity in construction, but for the great skill shown in representing them in repose or often in complex movement. From " The Watercolour Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson from the Albert H. Wiggin Collection in the Boston Public Library" with commentary by Arthur W. Heintzelman. [Watson-Guptill Publications, Inc. New York, 1947]

Market Day, c1780-1825 - A Vibrant Snapshot of 18th Century British Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "Market Day" we are transported back in time to witness the bustling energy and vibrant atmosphere of a typical market day in late 18th century Britain. Rowlandson's love for drawing animals is evident as he skillfully brings horses and dogs to life, infusing his market and tavern scenes with a sense of naturalness. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, not only in capturing the lively characters that populate the scene but also in depicting animals at rest or engaged in complex movements. The result is a composition that exudes authenticity and charm. As we explore this vivid street market scene, we encounter merchants tending their stalls filled with an array of goods – from baskets brimming with fresh produce to poulterers proudly displaying plump poultry. Butchers expertly ply their trade while customers go about their daily shopping routines. Rowlandson's masterful use of color adds depth and richness to the painting, further enhancing our immersion into this bustling world. Amidst all the activity, men and women engage in conversations, haggling over prices or simply enjoying each other's company. "Market Day" serves as both a historical document and a testament to Rowlandson's artistic prowess. It allows us to glimpse into everyday life during this era while showcasing the artist's ability to capture moments frozen in time. This print from Heritage Images offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only Rowlandson's talent but also the enduring allure of art as it transports us across centuries into different worlds.
