1738
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Morning is a 1738 ink by William Hogarth, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This busy street scene shows a crowd of people in old-fashioned clothes. A woman in a long dress stands near the center, holding a basket and talking to a man. Around her, others are gathered—some sitting by a small fire, others standing or walking by. The buildings behind them look like tall, narrow houses with steep roofs, and the ground is covered in snow. The title *Morning* hints this might be a quiet start to the day, but the crowd looks lively. The artist used shading to show depth, making the scene feel real and full of movement. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how this print was made.
William Hogarth (; 10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, engraver, satirist, cartoonist and writer.
