"Hudibras" is an engraving by renowned British artist William Hogarth, known for his satirical social commentary. The artwork depicts a scene from Samuel Butler's satirical poem of the same name, portraying the titular character, Hudibras, a Puritan knight, on horseback with his squire, Ralpho. The scene is likely a moment from their comedic adventures, as suggested by the various figures and their expressions. Hogarth's signature use of detail and caricature adds a layer of humor to the scene. Though the exact date of this engraving is unknown, it is likely from Hogarth's later career, demonstrating his mastery of the medium.
