DescriptionA portrait of John Wilkes (17th October 1725 - 26th December 1797), the English radical, politician, and libertine. Despite being a friend of Hogarth's, the two were frequently in disagreement. In this portrait, he is depicted full length, sitting on a high-backed chair. He rests the Staff of Maintenance, topped with a freedman's cap emblazoned with the word 'Liberty,' on his right shoulder. His face is set in a sinister leer, and his periwig has been positioned deliberately to suggest satanic horns.
