Comparative Studies of Human and Animal Heads
Pen and wash
An exploration of the parallels between human and animal character - a theme Rowlandson returned to throughout his career. Inspired by contemporary ideas about expression and behaviour, the drawing playfully blurs the boundary between man and beast, showing his sharp eye for both humour and observation.
