About the piece
Painted around 1730, this work by William Hogarth is one of a pair depicting a couple in a moment of spirited narrative tension. The scene is rich with Georgian period detail, from the heavy bed curtains and oval portrait to the expressive reactions of the figures and the small barking spaniel, exemplifying Hogarth's mastery of the 'modern moral subject'.
