A humorous and satirical Georgian framed watercolour entitled 'Caught at an Album-Impromptu!!' and dated 1826. The beautifully detailed image depicts a seated gentleman and aspiring poet who has written an 'impromptu on an eye bath' clearly disgruntled to receive a visit from an enthusiastic friend who wishes to share his own two volumes of work. The disgarded letter on the floor reads, 'Dear Humbug, with this I have sent the "Lines on a Dew Drop" - short and tender - hope they will suit. Ever yours, Tim Doggrel. P.S. Sonnet to Lip-Salve tomorrow.' A charming original watercolour in a rosewood frame. Dated 1826.
