"Times of the Day: Evening" is an engraving by William Hogarth, a renowned English artist known for his satirical social commentary. The print depicts a bustling scene outside a pub, capturing the everyday life of 18th-century England. The composition is characterized by Hogarth's signature detailed realism and attention to social hierarchy. A group of figures, including a woman holding a baby, stand on a bridge, while a dog runs through the water. The scene is set in the evening, as indicated by the low sun and the activities of the figures, which suggest they are preparing for the end of the day. The image offers a glimpse into the daily lives of people in Hogarth's time, revealing social interactions, class distinctions, and the prevalence of taverns.
