Framed Print of Before, 1730-1731. Creator: William Hogarth

Before, 1730-1731. This narrative painting describes the moments before a seduction. A young man in red breeches attempts to pull a young woman onto a bed. Struggling, she tries to push him away, dragging her dressing table down with her. Ironically, an open drawer reveals a book on the rules of courtship. Below, a small dog barks, alarmed by the commotion. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
