Brilliant artist.

"The beautiful Mrs. Graham" - a renowned society beauty, nee' Miss Cathcart.

But I think I like him best in his less polished mode - as in this sketch of his daughters -

I'm a minority opinion, I know, but I think that Hogarth - when he's on his game - is the best of the English painters.

nice liht and skin tone...I like Holbien

not technically British and different era but he did survive the Anne of Cleves liberties in painting

some like Reynolds too

his work was sorta ubiquitos too...can’t recall the name of work that was his most popular
