After William Hogarth
Description
A Midnight Modern Conversation
oil on canvas

Footnote:
Hogarth’s original composition of this subject seems to be only known from an engraving. Numerous painted copies attest to the popularity of this scene throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Ronald Paulson, however, suggests that the probable original is at the Yale Center for British Art, Connecticut, USA.

Oil on canvas which has been lined. The support and paint layers are in a good condition. There are a few scattered retouchings which are well matched to the original. The varnish is clear, even and glossy although dusty. The frame has a large loss to the decorative moulding on the left hand side.
