About this work
A hand-coloured etching by Thomas Rowlandson, dated May 25, 1807, shows a barefoot woman in a white nightgown confronting a man who sits smoking a pipe by a roaring fireplace with a glass in hand. Dogs, a candlestick, a jug and bottles on a small table, and a hat hanging on the wall furnish the domestic interior. The caption beneath reads "A White Sergeant giving the word of command - Come to Bed you drunken sot,".
