"Analysis of Beauty, Plate 2" is an etching and engraving from 1753 by British artist William Hogarth. The artwork is a satirical depiction of a lavish ball, where the attendees are engaged in a variety of activities, including dancing and socializing. The engraving is one of eight plates from Hogarth's book, "The Analysis of Beauty". Hogarth uses the plate to examine the principles of beauty in art, architecture, and human form. The print, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, satirizes the absurdity of fashion and social etiquette.
