Painter and his Pug
The Painter and his Pug[1] is a 1745 self-portrait created by William Hogarth featuring his pug dog, Trump.The portrait was originally created with the intention of Hogarth wearing formal attire, but was changed to the informal attire sometime during the painting process.[2] In the portrait, Hogarth himself is in a painting as the pug is alongside him, making Trump "real" as opposed to the created person.But, as an ironic disruption, the cloth behind the dog comes out of the painting.The painting is part of the collections of the Tate Gallery.
