A Midnight Modern Conversation 

A Midnight Modern Conversation, a print by William Hogarth, depicts a scene of a group of men gathered around a table, engaged in an evening of revelry. The composition is a visual representation of the social satire that was characteristic of Hogarth's work. The artist's use of detail and humor highlights the vices of the society he lived in, the dangers of overindulgence and social excess, and the often-vulgar nature of aristocratic life.
