Thomas Rowlandson, British (1756-1827) “Success to the Orange Party,” Ink and watercolour on paper, approx. 22cms x 30cms (8 ½” x 12”). (1) In 1786, the Prussian army invaded the Netherlands in order to defeat the Patriots and prop up the regime of William of Orange. In Britain, the Whig Party, who supported this intervention, used orange as an identifying colour. The title inscribed in this drawing, ‘Success to the Orange Party’, likely refers to William of Orange. Britain, represented by John Bull, is shown wearing a sword and pistol, and having his hand shaken by a Dutch man dressed in ragged clothes. Behind him stands a stout woman, personifying Holland. In the background, Hanoverian troops are seen pursuing Patriots, who, as they flee, drop bags of guilders. Noted for his book illustrations, bawdy cartoons, satires and social commentaries, Thomas Rowlandson was born in London in 1757. Two years later his father, a weaver, was declared bankrupt and the family moved to Yorkshire. However Thomas was sent back to London, where he attended school at Soho Square. Around 1765 he attended the Soho Academy and in 1772 moved on to divide his time between the Royal Academy in London and a drawing school in Paris. Although he inherited a fortune, it was soon dissipated through gambling and he turned to drawing caricatures to make a living. In 1784 he showed a drawing of the pleasure gardens at Vauxhall, at the Royal Academy, and thereafter enjoyed success as an artist, producing caricatures and satirical drawings, many of which were published as engravings. He died in 1827. Dr. Peter Murray 2025 €1500 - €2000 726
