Getting started with the collection:
Bowl, with a depiction of ‘A Midnight Modern Conversation’ by William Hogarth (1697-1764)
Meissener Porzellan Manufaktur, c. 1760
By copying Hogarth’s A Midnight Modern Conversation on a punchbowl, an illusion of infinity is created, as it were (a scene within a scene within a scene, etc). After all, a comparable punchbowl features on the table in the scene depicted.
