Self Portrait 2, also known as "The Painter and his Pug", is a masterpiece by the renowned English painter, William Hogarth. Dating back to 1745, this painting is considered amongst the most significant works in Hogarth's repertoire, reflecting not only his artistic vision, but also his personal life.

The oil-on-canvas painting presents an intimate self-portrait, Hogarth at his canvas, engrossed in the act of painting. Much of the focus in Hogarth's Self Portrait 2 lies in the clever interplay of light and shadow, bringing textures and depths to surfaces in a signature style that would later be hailed as a precursor to the artistic movement of realism.

An interesting element within the painting is the likeness of Hogarth's pet pug, Trump, which is depicted with a high level of intricacy. Scholars suggest that the presence of the pug serves a symbol of Hogarth's own personality traits - doggedness, obstinacy, and loyalty. The artist's meticulousness in detailing his domestic life also gives an insight into the 18th-century British urban household.

Today, the painting rests in the distinguished holdings of Tate Britain. As it personifies Hogarth's artistic journey and personal ethos, it continues to captivate and inspire students, artists, historians and art enthusiasts around the globe.
