Provenance:

Private Collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

This painting is the work of an unknown artist active in the 19th century. It is after William Hogarth's famous composition, "A Modern Midnight Conversation," 1733, now in the Paul Mellon Collection. The painter of this version refers to an etching by William Hogarth, mirror-inverted, which the copyist has recaptured in detail. It depicts a group of men smoking and drinking and dressed in period clothing.

The subject depicted is a typical "modern moral subject" of William Hogarth's in which he denounced the social problems within England at the time.
