Satire on the antagonism between william hogarth and charles churchill arising from the north briton, no. 17 in which, as a response to hogarth's print "the times plate 1" supporting the peace of paris, john wilkes wrote:"the post of portrait-painter [to the king] is given to a scotsman, one ramsey, mr hogarth is only to paint the wainscot of the rooms, or, in the phrase of the art, may be called their pannel-painter". On the left is shown a blank "pannel painting" in front of which hogarth, shown as his pug dog with his fore paws on a palette with the "liner of beauty", confronts a large bear (churchill) who stands on his "epistle to wm.
