His last day in Leicester Fields
On 25 October 1764 Hogarth, weak but cheerful, was taken from his villa in Chiswick to his home in Leicester Fields; he was still working, retouching “The Bench”. On 26 October he received a letter from Benjamin Franklin and drafted a reply; he boasted of eating a pound of beefsteaks for dinner, and that night, after suddenly vomiting, died in the arms of his servant Mary Lewis; John Nichols named an aneurysm as the cause, Horace Walpole “a dropsy of his breast”.
