About this work

A watercolor-washed drawing by Thomas Rowlandson, titled The challenge and dated ca. 1780-1825, shows two men in an interior room. A stout man in a red military coat with gold epaulettes holds a hat and glove on a raised hand, while a thin man in a cream coat and striped stockings reads a folded letter with an anxious expression. The room includes a fireplace, a covered urn on a draped table, framed pictures, and a wooden door at right.
