Etched design with figures numbered in the image etched below. In the center front Hogarth holds on his knees a volume of "The analysis of beauty" which bears on its cover the pyramid and "Line of beauty". It is supported by a prop which bends to resemble the "Line of beauty". Hogarth looks with horror at the irradiated ghost of Lomazzo, the author of the treatise to which the artist refers in his "Analysis" as an authority but whom his enemies say he stole his ideas. A lean dog barks at the figures of a deformed man who is weeping. Hogarth's dog standing by his side looks up with sympathy. An old man (probably Dr. Morell), Hogarth's friend seems affected by the smell proceeding from the artist, looks up with astonishment at the ghost.
