The Four Times of Day: Morning is a 1738 by William Hogarth, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This busy street scene shows people starting their day. A woman in fancy clothes stands near the center, holding a basket and a pipe. Around her, others are waking up—some huddle by a small fire, others chat or walk past. The buildings look old, with steep roofs and narrow windows, and a shop sign reads "Tom Kettle’s Coffee House." Notice how the artist packed in so many details—every face and action tells a tiny story. The mix of rich and poor, busy and lazy, feels real and crowded. Want to know more? Check out Baroque.
