From an Original Sketch of William Hogarth's in the Collection of Mr. Morrison 1782

"From an Original Sketch of HOGARTH'S in the Collection of Mr. Morrison" is an etching on paper by Richard Livesay, created in 1782. It depicts a skeletal figure seemingly wrestling with a living man, a popular motif used by the English artist William Hogarth. The etching highlights the contrast between life and death, a theme often explored in Hogarth's work. The image, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Livesay’s skill in replicating the style of the famous artist, William Hogarth, a master of social satire and moralizing commentary in 18th century England.
