A lively etching with hand-colouring by Thomas Rowlandson, 'Preparing to Start' captures the excitement of a horse race in early 19th-century England. The print is filled with dynamic figures and offers a glimpse into the popular pastimes of the Georgian era.
Thomas Rowlandson, a British artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is best known for his satirical caricatures and social commentaries. His works often depict scenes of everyday life, capturing the humour and foibles of British society. Rowlandson's style is characterised by its energetic lines, expressive figures, and use of watercolour washes. He produced a vast number of prints and drawings, which provide a valuable insight into the Georgian era. 'Preparing to Start' depicts a lively scene at a horse race. The composition is filled with figures, from the jockeys and horses at the starting line to the spectators gathered in the stands and on the surrounding hills. Rowlandson's attention to detail and his ability to capture the energy of the event are evident in the dynamic poses of the horses and the animated expressions of the crowd. The etching is enhanced by delicate hand-colouring, which adds depth and visual interest to the scene. The work offers a glimpse into the popular pastimes and social gatherings of early 19th-century England.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

gambling away seven thousand pounds, then drawing ten thousand prints to pay the debts, capturing Georgian England as a place perpetually on the verge of falling over
