About the Artwork:

Thomas Rowlandson was an English artist and caricaturist noted for his colorful and satirical depictions of Georgian society and manners. Born in 1756 in London, Rowlandson's works were distinguished by their robust humor, lively characters, and often bawdy themes. He had a keen eye for the absurdities of human behavior and his drawings frequently featured the social and political scenarios of his time.

"The Last Drop" is an example of Rowlandson’s approach to caricature and social commentary. The artwork portrays a London tradesman overindulging on whiskey punch while having a skeletal representation of death looming over him as he imbibes. The character is depicted in an exaggerated, grotesque manner, emphasizing his inebriation and lack of decorum.
