Title	Lieut. Bowling pleading the cause of young Rory to his Grandfather
Date	12 May 1800
Description	An interior scene. On the left stands the naval officer Lieutenant Tom Bowling. One hand is in his breeches pocket and he has a large stick under his arm. With his other arm he gestures to his young nephew, Roderick Random. Bowling is addressing the boy's grandfather. He is seated in a large wheelchair and has one swollen gouty leg resting on a pile of cushions and his hands inside a muff. Around his chair stand various relations: a young man looking at Bowling and Random through a quizzing glass, an old woman in a mobcap, and three young women. On the walls are two portraits of ancestors and a large mirror. Available on CD 160.
