This print shows composer Handel in profile, warts and all. His wig curls, his mouth slightly open. He looks tired but determined. Handel was a giant in 18th-century London. This portrait came out just two years after his death. The printmaker used fine lines to catch light on Handel’s nose and cheek. Try looking up *Victoria and Albert Museum* to see more Hogarth prints.
