Description
English: Captain Lord George Graham, 1715-47, in his Cabin.

Probably shows the subject in the cabin of his new command, the 66-gun HMS Lark. Graham is seen seated, in full length view, to the right of the table, smoking a long handled pipe. His clerk and chaplain sing, to music played by a black servant boy on a drum and fife. A steward brings a fowl to the table, but while looking out at the viewer with a smile, tips gravy down the back of the chaplain's neck. Two dogs are visible. One, Graham's dog, joins in the singing. Hogarth's own pug dog, Trump, sits up on a chair, wearing Hogarth's wig and holding a scroll, and reads from a sheet of music in front of him propped on a wineglass. The picture is inscribed in the top left corner 'Ld Geo. Graham, Son to 1st D. of Montrose, by Hogarth'.

The sober-suited dining companion holding out a blank journal or log-book is thought to be the Scottish poet, David Mallet. See "source" website...

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1764, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
