Hogarth created and traditional portraits, showing an excellent technique and a subtle understanding of the psychology of models. He allowed them to parade when posing the best qualities.
The artist portrayed his characters with humor, sometimes with one detail revealing what they carefully tried to hide. On the canvas, Captain Coreme tries to appear an aristocrat. But how clumsy are Corem’s legs in wrinkled, flattened stockings look non-aristocratic!
