William Hogarth Hogarth himself writes as follows about this picture: — ''While I was making arrangements (in 1759) to confine myself entirely to my graver, an amiable nobleman (Lord Charlemont) requested that before I Ibade a final adieu to the pencil, I should paint him one picture, the subject to be my own choice, and the reward — whatever I demanded. The story I pitched upon, was a young and virtuous married lady, who, by playing at cards with an officer, loses her money, watch, and jewels; the moment when he offers them back in return for her honour, and she is wavering at his suit, was my point of time." Two small whole-length figures. The lady in a low cut amber satin dress, with short sleeves trimmed with lace, pearls in her hair, is seated near a fire, her 1. arm resting on a fire screen. The officer, in the military dress of the period, is standing behind the table, close by her, and is offering to stake against her honour all that he has won from her — her w^atch, jewels, the miniature of her husband, and a £00/. note which the latter has sent her — holding them out to her in his hat. On the chimney-piece, near which the lady sits, is a clock with a figure of Time on it, and the motto " Nunc " ; on the floor is the letter from her husband sending her the COO/, note; some of the cards that have been used are lying on the floor, others burning in the fire. The lady is a portrait of Miss Salusbury, afterwards Mrs. Piozzi, according to that lady's account as given in a letter from her to Sir James Fellows in 1815. Lord Charlemont gave Hogarth 100/. for the picture. In a letter, dated January 29, 1760, sending him the money, the Earl says : " I beg you would think I by no means attempt to pay you according to your merit, but according to my own abilities. Were I to pay your deserts, I fear I should leave myself poor indeed. Imagine that you have made me a present of the i^icture, for literally as such I take it, and that I have begged your acceptance of the enclosed trifle."
