From the collection of Fitzwilliam Museum
After is a 1731 oil by William Hogarth, a Rococo painting work, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
The painting shows a man and a woman in a forest, dressed in 18th-century clothing. The woman is wearing a yellow dress with a white apron, and the man is wearing a blue suit with a white shirt. They are standing close together, with the woman holding the man's hand. In the foreground, there are some scattered objects on the ground, including what appears to be a piece of fabric and some fruit. The background of the painting is dark and shadowy, with trees looming behind the couple. This painting is an example of a genre scene, a type of artwork that depicts everyday life and activities.
