Macassar Oil, An Oily Puff for Soft Heads
Thomas Rowlandson British
Not on view
An portly, elderly, bald man sits in an armchair while a shopman pours oil from a bottle on to his scalp, with the intent of helping his hair grow back. A cap inscribed "Fools Cap" is on the ground at right. Behind them at right, a woman with her hair standing on end looks in horror at her reflection in a mirror.
