This is my friends new adopted kitten! His name is Hogarth and I got to meet him today.
He played and then fell asleep on me in a dramatic way that only a tiny baby can do

Hogarth's 'The Christening'
I was looking for an illustration to illustrate a blog post about disorderly baptisms, and I came across this fine early Hogarth, last heard of being banned from export in 2016. At that time, it was on loan from a private collection to the Gainsborough House Museum.
The painting depicts a fashionable private christening in the early 18th century, with the eyes of the clergyman, said to represent the eccentric 'orator' John Henley, on the attractive female godparent beside him rather than on the service. Henley was sometimes a member of the Church of England, and sometimes a dissenter. The male godparent is more concerned to look at himself in the mirror, the little girl is upsetting the christening bowl, and the mother is exhausted. It shows all the promise of Hogarth's incipient genius. Private baptisms came into fashion in the mid-17th century, as a way of getting round the then rather restrictive rules on public baptisms, which temporarily banned godparents and the use of the font. Prior to this date they tended not to be attended by the mother, who was meant to be at home lying in, but as you can see here, a private baptism allowed her to attend.

William Hogarth’s Satire on False Perspective (1754) offers an Escher-like array of impossible lines and vanishing points: a man lights his pipe from a distant candle; a flock of sheep grow bigger as they recede round a corner; a foreground flag disappears behind a distant tree, and many more.⠀
⠀
These multiple visual tricks are all jokes to convince the viewer of the necessity of reading and understanding Hogarth's friend Joshua Kirby's book, "Dr. Brook Taylor's Method of Perspective Made Easy, Both in Theory and Practice" for which Hogarth's image acted as frontispiece.⠀
⠀
How many errors can you spot?⠀

If you're still taking requests, why not draw Hogarth (from The Iron Giant) being picked up by his leg? But it's like the Giant grabs him by the pants and he's about to fall off of them, mind you 😋
I'll understand if there's any problem with my req though
*Robot noises*
noooo put me down
