Andrew Nethercott Antiques has dated this piece to the 1800s.
The caricatured audience in the 'cheap seats' are watching a very funny play.
The foreground shows three members of the wood wind section of the orchestra, one of whom has removed his wig for comfort.
Hogarth here turns his keen eye to the audience in all it's variety, the results displaying a mix of typical dark Hogarthian satire but here tempered by warmth and geniality.
All in very good sound condition minimal superficial surface marks and scatches, no damage or repair.
