The chamber of genius [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[2 April 1812]engAn artist with a crazed look on his face paints at his easel the picture of Hebrew prophet (?) with wild hair and clenched fists. The artist is only half-dressed, his foot in the contents of an overturned chamber pot. He is surrounded by other pursuits of genius: a violin, scientific and medical equipment, a Roman bust, a French horn, a pile of books, etc. On the wall are three drawings: an air balloon, a dancer, and a portrait of Peter Jesta. He sits at the foot of a bed where his pretty wife sleeps peacefully, unaware that her young child is pouring out wine into a glass while a slightly older child sits with bellows before a stove, the spout of a kettle dangerously aimed in her directionTitle etched below image.Two lines of verse below title: Want is the scorn of every wealthy fool, and genius in rags is turn'd to ridicule.
