Hogarth, William (1697-1764)
Marriage A-la-Mode: 4, The Toilette, about 1743. Oil on canvas, 70.5 x 90.8 cm. After the death of the old Earl the wife is now the Countess, with a coronet above her bed and over the dressing table, where she sits. She has also become a mother, and a child's teething coral hangs from her chair. The lawyer Silvertongue invites her to a masquerade like the one to which he points, depicted on the screen. A group of visitors on the left listen to an opera singer, possibly a castrato, accompanied by a flautist. An African page on the right unpacks a collection of curiosities bought at auction, including a figure of Actaeon. The paintings on the right wall show Lot and his daughters/II Jupiter and Io (after Correggio). On the left wall is a portrait of the lawyer and Rape of Ganymede (after Michelangelo). Bought, 1824 (NG116).
