Hogarth, William (1697-1764)
Marriage A-la-Mode: 3, The Inspection, about 1743. Oil on canvas, 69.9 x 90.8 cm. The third scene takes place in the room of a French doctor (M. de La Pillule). The Viscount is seated with his child mistress beside him, apparently having contracted venereal disease, as indicated by the black spot on his neck, Hogarth's symbol for those taking the mercurial pills which were the only known treatment for this ailment. The machines to the right, identified in the inscription on the open book, are for setting a broken shoulder, and drawing corks. Bought, 1824 (NG115).
