Footnote:

A pair of engravings after William Hogarth (1697–1764), depicting The Good Samaritan and The Pool of Bethesda. The original paintings, completed in 1736–37, were presented by Hogarth to St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, where they remain in situ. Published by John Boydell in 1772, the engravings reproduce Hogarth’s ambitious contributions to British history painting, with biblical subjects reflecting the hospital’s charitable mission of caring for the sick and vulnerable.

Proceeds from this lot will go to the League of St Bartholomew’s Nurses Charity.
