"Self Portrait" by William Hogarth is a significant work by the renowned 18th-century English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. Known for his high level of skill and innovation in the field of portraiture, Hogarth's self-portrait is a testament to his artistic prowess and understanding of character depiction. Created in 1745, this oil on canvas measures 90.2 cm by 74.9 cm and is part of the collection at the National Portrait Gallery, London.

In this self-portrait, Hogarth presents himself confidently as a gentleman artist, a status that was not easily granted to painters during his time. He is depicted at work, palette in hand, with brushes, maulstick, and a canvas visible, signifying his profession. His attire is fashionable yet modest, reflecting his social aspirations and professional success. The portrait is also notable for including his pug dog, Trump, which serves as a symbol of the artist's character and possibly a satirical comment on fidelity and human nature, themes commonly explored in Hogarth's art.

The composition of the painting is carefully constructed to convey Hogarth's intellectual interests and his position in society. Books, papers, and a silver inkwell on the table beside him indicate his engagement with the literary and intellectual circles of his time. The presence of the line of beauty and grace, a serpentine 'S' curve visible on the palette, references his theories on aesthetics as outlined in his influential book "The Analysis of Beauty," published in 1753.

Hogarth's self-portrait is not only a personal depiction but also an embodiment of his beliefs about the role of the artist in society and the importance of moral and social commentary in art. It remains a key work for understanding the artist's legacy and the development of portraiture in the 18th century.
