king, whose studio he had frequented. As his book-plates were not profitable, he set up as a portrait painter and met with considerable success. In 1733 he completed his series of six pictures entitled the Harlot's Progress (5 burned at Fonthill, 1755; 1, the sixth picture, Earl of Wemys, Gosford House), which was followed by the Rake's Progress (8 pictures), and Marriage à la Mode (6), in which he reached the height of his art, his more ambitious works, such as the Good Samaritan (1736), Paul before Felix (1748), Moses brought to Pharaoh's Daughter (1752), and others, being less successful. Among his other pictures painted especially for engraving are: Southwark Fair (1733), Duke of Newcastle; Midnight Modern Conversation (1734); Distressed Poet (1735); The Four Times of the Day (1738); Strolling Actresses Dressing in a Barn (1738, burned at Littleton House, near Staines, 1874); The Enraged Musician (1741); Calais Gate (1749); March to Finchley (1750); The Election (1755), Soane Museum, London. In 1753 he published a work entitled "The Analysis of Beauty"; in 1757 he was appointed serjeant-painter to the king. Hogarth painted several portraits of himself; the best of them, in which he is represented with his dog Trump (1745), is in the National Gallery, London. Other pictures in the National Gallery are: Marriage à la Mode (6), Portrait of his sister, Mary Hogarth (1746), Sigismonda (1763), Family Group, Polly Peachum, Shrimp Girl; Garrick as Richard III., Earl of Feversham.—Dobson, Biogr.
