The Consultation

Thomas Rowlandson

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts six men standing closely together. They wear white wigs, long coats, waistcoats, white stockings, and dark shoes. Some face each other while others face the viewer. The men hold objects like a walking cane and a fan. The background is plain, and a decorative border frames the scene. The title "THE CONSULTATION" is shown beneath the scene.
