Past Exhibition

Engravings and Etchings by and after William Hogarth from the Rosenwald and Addie Burr Clark Memorial Collections

The image depicts a man sitting on the edge of a bed or couch, draped in fabric. He leans back with one arm extended forward. His facial expression is intense, with wide eyes and subtle lines on his forehead. He has short, curly hair and wears elaborate period clothing, including a fur-trimmed robe, a detailed doublet, and stockings. He wears a medallion on a chain around his neck. Nearby, a crown and a dagger can be seen. The room is ornately decorated with carvings and drapery. In the background, a crucifix is mounted on the wall. Through an open space, distant tents and a small bonfire against a cloudy sky are visible.
Charles Grignion, William Hogarth, Garrick in the Role of Richard III, 1746, etching and engraving on laid paper mounted on laid paper, Rosenwald Collection, 1944.5.58
