1758
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Bench is a 1758 ink by William Hogarth, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four faces drawn in a sketchy, rough style. Below them is a big, exaggerated head of an older man with wild hair and a long coat. The whole scene looks like a mix of quick doodles and serious faces. The title at the bottom explains this is about how people draw faces differently. The text talks about "character" and "caricature," which are types of drawings. If you like this style, look up etching to see how it’s made.
William Hogarth (; 10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, engraver, satirist, cartoonist and writer.
