An attack on poet and satirist Charles Churchill, the engraving is a reworking of Hogarth's self portrait, The painter and his Pug. His self portrait is replaced with a drooling bear representing Churchill wearing worn clerical bands, holding a beer and a club or tree stump with "Lye" engraved on the sawn branches. The dog, Trump, is urinating on Churchill's "Epistle to Hogarth"
Some general spotting.
