Tit for Tat or Wm Hogarth Esqr Principal Pannel Painter to his Majesty (BM 1868,0808.4317)

Satire on William Hogarth and his supposed support of Lord Bute. Hogarth seated at his easel wearing a smock and fool's cap paints a portrait of John Wilkes based on his print (Paulson 214); his pug lies beneath his chair; Bute stands behind him; Mrs Hogarth sits at a table beyond in the pose of Hogarth's painting 'Sigismunda mourning over the heart of Guiscardo' (Tate, no.1046).
