"Scholars at a Lecture" is a painting by the English artist William Hogarth, created in 1736. The work is a satirical depiction of a university lecture, capturing the moment with a keen eye for detail and a sharp sense of humor. The painting is part of a series of works by Hogarth that comment on the social and cultural practices of his time, often critiquing the pretensions and follies of the upper classes and professionals.

In "Scholars at a Lecture," Hogarth portrays a scene in which a lecturer is giving a presentation to a group of scholars. The scholars, however, appear disinterested or distracted, with some dozing off, others conversing among themselves, and a few engaged in their own thoughts or activities. The lecturer himself seems oblivious to the lack of attention from his audience, absorbed in his own discourse. This scene is emblematic of Hogarth's talent for capturing the ironies and contradictions of social life, as well as his ability to convey complex narratives through his art.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and is known for its fine detail and rich characterization. Each figure in the composition is rendered with individuality, and the expressions and body language of the scholars provide a lively commentary on the nature of academic life and the value of formal education. Hogarth's work is often praised for its vivid storytelling and its critical edge, and "Scholars at a Lecture" is no exception. It remains an important example of 18th-century British art and a testament to Hogarth's enduring legacy as a social commentator through his art.

As a significant piece of Hogarth's oeuvre, "Scholars at a Lecture" has been studied and analyzed by art historians for its contribution to the genre of satirical painting and for its insights into the cultural and intellectual milieu of the period. The painting is held in a public collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, allowing audiences to appreciate Hogarth's wit and artistry firsthand.
