The Foot Bath (Drying Out) 

"The Foot Bath (Drying Out)" is a watercolor drawing by Thomas Rowlandson, a renowned English caricaturist known for his satirical portrayals of everyday life. This small-scale work depicts a humorous scene with four figures: a man in a nightcap and dressing gown, a woman drying his foot, and two women attending to him. The scene is set in a simple bedroom, highlighting the intimate nature of the subject matter, which Rowlandson often depicted in his works. The drawing's loose and gestural style is characteristic of Rowlandson's work, adding to the overall sense of lightheartedness and satire.
