Grotesque Borders for Rooms & Halls Possibly 1799

"Grotesque Borders for Rooms & Halls" is an etching by Thomas Rowlandson, a British artist known for his satirical caricatures. Created in 1799, the print features a series of comical vignettes depicting various social scenes and figures. Rowlandson's use of exaggeration and distortion is evident in the distorted faces and outlandish postures, making the work a perfect example of the "grotesque" style. The artwork's humorous and satirical nature would have appealed to a wide audience in the late 18th century. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
