Marriage A-la-Mode: The Tête à Tête by William Hogarth

Marriage A-la-Mode: The Tête à Tête (1743)

William Hogarth | Rococo | Oil on canvas

A tired couple ignores each other after a long night: she was up playing cards, and he was out on the town. Their messy room tells a funny story about their silly lives!

Did you know? Hogarth told stories like a comic book, and the clues are everywhere. Look at the little dog tugging a woman's cap out of the husband's pocket, and the servant leaving with a pile of unpaid bills!
