This watercolor drawing by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "Interior of an Inn," depicts a lively scene inside a pub. The artist captures the bustling energy of a typical English inn, with patrons gathered at tables, drinking, and enjoying each other's company. Rowlandson's signature humor is evident in the exaggerated features and poses of the figures, creating a sense of lighthearted chaos. The detail of a clock hanging on the wall adds to the realism of the scene, suggesting a specific time of day and setting. This drawing is a quintessential example of Rowlandson's work, known for its social commentary and satirical depiction of everyday life in 18th-century England. The drawing is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
