A Kick Up at a Hazard Table
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and lively print that captures the chaotic scene of a gambling house in 18th-century England. Created by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson, this coloured etching with aquatint brings to life the intense atmosphere of a card game gone wrong. In this image, we witness an explosive moment as players engage in a fierce dispute. The tension is palpable as cards are thrown into the air, pistols are drawn, and fists fly amidst overturned tables and scattered chips. Each character exudes their own unique personality through exaggerated facial expressions and animated gestures. Rowlandson's caricature style adds an element of humor to this dramatic confrontation. With his keen eye for detail, he masterfully depicts every aspect of this brawl – from the intricately designed playing cards to the ornate decor of the gaming house itself. This print serves as both entertainment and social commentary on the vices associated with gambling during this era. It reminds us of how easily disputes can escalate into physical altercations when money is at stake. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, "A Kick Up at a Hazard Table" continues to captivate viewers with its dynamic composition and rich storytelling. It stands as a testament to Rowlandson's skillful artistry and his ability to capture human nature in all its glory – even within moments of conflict and chaos.
