You see a print of a stage scene from *The Beggar’s Opera*. A man in a coat holds a hat. Other figures stand around a table. The print has a rough, sketchy look. This is one of 12 prints made from Hogarth’s original paintings. They show scenes from a popular 1728 play. The image was later turned into a print by J. & J. Boydell. Check out Hogarth, William next.
