From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Gulielmus Hogarth is a 1748 ink by William Hogarth, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a man sitting with a small dog at his feet. He wears a dark coat and a powdered wig, looking straight ahead with a serious face. In front of him is a stack of books and a palette with brushes, hinting at his work. The name "Gulielmus Hogarth" is written below the image, suggesting this is a portrait of someone named Hogarth. The dog’s calm pose and the man’s tools add a personal touch. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how this print was made.
