Doctor Syntax rijdt met zijn paard in op een koets en een vrouw met ezel 1821 - 1822

"The Result of Purchasing a Blind Horse" is a hand-colored etching by English artist Thomas Rowlandson, created between 1821-1822 and held in the Rijksmuseum. The satirical image depicts a chaotic scene with a rider on a runaway horse, whose blindness has led to a collision with a carriage and a woman on a donkey, adding to the humor. The lively depiction of a common occurrence using caricature is characteristic of Rowlandson's style, which often poked fun at social foibles and human nature.
