Marriage a la Mode: pl.6

Louis Gerard Scotin after William Hogarth

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays a room with five adults. One man is seated to the left, looking down at a table with dishes and a piece of meat being cut by a skeleton. Another man stands next to him. In the center, a man in a dark coat holds a paper and looks at two women to his right, one seated and the other supporting a fainted woman. The seated woman wears a gown and headcover. The background has framed paintings, a bookcase, and a large window showing a canal view. The foreground includes a rug and an overturned chair.
