Fast Day [in pencil]
[n.d. c.1800]
Very scarce etching, sheet 270 x 225mm (10¾ x 8¾") Trimmed to plate at top. Left margin damaged. Thread margin at bottom. A few small worm holes. Some light spotting.
Two parsons sit at a circular table surrounded by servants holding trays of food and one holding an enormous cup and a bottle of alcohol. The roundest parson stuffs his mouth with food. The other has his leg up in a cast resting on a cushion, probably inflicted with gout, and closely inspects his food. Similar to satires made by Richard Newton in 1793 and Thomas Rowlandson in 1812.
