Copy of Hogarth's self-portrait; he is painting Thalia, the Comic Muse who holds a satyr's mask in her left hand and a book in her right hand. After the state without "Comedy 1764" on the pillar. Hogarth is seated in a chair leaning forward toward the easel, looking to right, wearing an indoor cap and a loose coat; he holds a palette, brushes and palette knife; the pot of oil on the floor in front of the chair. A volume of prints and a burin can be seen in a niche in the wall behind the easel.
