The Greenwich Pensioners

Artist: Thomas Rowlandson
Artwork: The Greenwich Pensioners
Description: This is a satirical drawing of a group of pensioners from the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich. The pensioners are depicted as old, decrepit, and disabled, and they are being led by a pompous and self-important figure who is likely intended to represent the hospital’s governor. The drawing is a commentary on the poor treatment of pensioners in the early 19th century.
