ca. 1740
William Hogarth painted his sister Mary in this intimate profile portrait around 1740, revealing a much softer side than his famous satirical engravings. Mary wears a fluffy white lace cap with a peek of blue ribbon and a simple pearl necklace, her gaze fixed thoughtfully into the distance. The loose, expressive brushstrokes give the oval portrait a sense of immediacy, capturing a quiet, unposed moment. It's a charming glimpse into the artist's family life, far removed from the chaotic, moralizing scenes of 18th-century London he is best known for.
