List of works by William Hogarth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of works by William Hogarth by publication date (if known).

As a printmaker Hogarth often employed other engravers to produce his work and frequently revised his works between one print run and the next, so it is often difficult to accurately differentiate between works by (or for) Hogarth and those in the style of or "after". Some of the less likely, possible, doubtful works and those formerly identified as Hogarth's works are listed at the end. Numbers in square brackets refer to the catalogue numbers in Ronald Paulson's third edition of Hogarth's Graphic Works (those with asterisks are classified as "After Hogarth" by Paulson).

The works are all paintings, prints or drawings, apart from Hogarth's 1753 book The Analysis of Beauty.

  • Virtuous Courtship (1759) possibly a companion piece to The Lady's Last Stake
  • Girl with a Cage Hogarth's name is on the back of the painting

  • A View of St. James's Park exhibited in 1814 as by Hogarth but probably by J. Wale
  • Rosamond's Pond claimed by Samuel Ireland to be by Hogarth

  • Taste, or Burlington Gate—dismissed as Hogarth's work by Paulson on stylistic grounds[60]
  • The Politician (not by Hogarth but based on one of his sketches)
  • Shop card for Richard Lee—a variation on A Midnight Modern Conversation, it is dismissed as Hogarth's work by Paulson on stylistic grounds[60]
