Description

After William Hogarth
A Midnight Modern Conversation inscribed lower left 'WH' oil on canvas 33 x 42cm

Footnote: Hogarth’s original composition of this subject seems to be only known from an engraving. Numerous painted copies attest to the popularity of this scene throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Ronald Paulson, however, suggests that the probable original is at the Yale Center for British Art, Connecticut, USA.
