The bruiser
Hogarth, William, 1697-1764 · (c) August 1, 1763
A re-working of Hogarth's self-portrait of 1749 (Paulson 181); the artist has been replaced by a bear representing Charles Churchill wearing preaching bands and holding a tankard of beer in one paw and a knotty club in the other. The dog Trump is urinating on a copy of Churchill's "Epistle to Hogarth" and leaning on the palette is a framed satirical print showing Hogarth himself.
