A drawing in pen and ink, a design for Hogarth's subscription ticket for 'A Harlot's Progress'. It shows two putti, one painting and one engraving, flanking a a statue of the Ephesian Artemis (or Diana), a personification of Nature. A small satyr has lifted the skirt of the statue to peep underneath while a third putto tires to prevent him from looking. The picture is an artistic allegory for the work of the satirist, who must look at the seamier side of life, which the idealising artist has been taught to shun. The subject is partially based on the painting 'Nature adorned by the Graces' by Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Bruegel, which was in the collection of Hogarth's father-in-law, Sir James Thornhill.
