About this work
William Hogarth was famously – or, rather, infamously – bound to his dog. The adoration he felt towards his pug, Trump, is well documented throughout the artist’s career. Trump appeared in a number of Hogarth’s works prior to his 1745 self-portrait The painter and his pug. The pug was not a popular breed among men at the time, and Hogarth was unfortunately mocked by critics for his love of the unusual-looking dog.
