John Wilkes

William Hogarth, 1763

The image shows a man seated, with one leg crossed over the other. He is leaning slightly forward and holding a long pole with a large item labeled "Liberty." The man has a smile on his face, a distinctive hairstyle with side curls typical of the 18th century, and is wearing a buttoned coat, waistcoat, knee breeches, and buckled shoes. Next to him on a table are papers and a box labeled "North Briton Number 45." The background has a simple, textured pattern, and the chair he is sitting on is ornate.
