From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
William Hogarth (1697–1764) (design for a mosaic in the Victoria and Albert Museum) is a 1868 oil by Eyre Crowe, a Realism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a man in a red coat, standing with a palette and brush in his hands. He is dressed in 18th-century attire, including a black vest and white stockings, and has a dog sitting beside him. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color. The man's pose suggests that he is an artist, and the presence of the palette and brush reinforces this idea. The dog adds a sense of companionship and domesticity to the scene. This painting is a portrait of William Hogarth, and you can learn more about his work by exploring the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Eyre Crowe, ARA (3 October 1824 – 12 December 1910) was an English painter and author who specialised in history painting and genre art.
