Pug the Painter (the Idea Box of a Connoisseur) is a monkey seated on a table that is decorated with the carved face of a judge on the side. He paints a canvas supported on an easel and holds paint brushes and palette in his right hand. From a speech bubble he says: " A marvellous effect by G-d." At the left an owl is perched on a stack of books and holds a sheet of paper in his claw with the words "Catalogue of some capital pictures lately consigned from abroad" and from his mouth a speech bubble: "I think Mr. Pug you may keep down your sky a little more."

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.
