Paul before Felix, Plate I, 1751. Artist: William Hogarth

Légende

Paul before Felix, Plate I, 1751. Paul stands before the court to defend himself. He directly appeals to a very worried looking Felix, wearing a laurel wreath. On the left a judge tears up a piece of paper into tiny pieces frowning at Paul. A monster at his feet is putting the pieces back together. Paul is standing on a stool, with an angel slumped in the corner asleep, and a tiny devil sawing one of the stool's legs. A dog with the name Felix on its collar cautiously walks up the steps behind Paul. To the right of Paul stands a figure representing Justice holding a sword and weighing scales. Hogarth tells us at the bottom of the image that he has designed it in the ridiculous manner of Rembrandt, and the figure of Justice has been made to look like Rembrandt.
