Subject: Rowlandson sketch?
Does anyone know the artist who did the sketch of a foolish servant who digs up
a sundial in order to answer his gouty master’s inquiry about the time? It
looks to me like Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827), but I have been unable to
identify it or a collection that contains it. I have put an image in this

Thanks!
