Ganed Hogarth yn Llundain, lle cafodd ei hyfforddi fel engrafiwr a pheintiwr. Roedd yn bortreadydd o fri, ac ef a greodd y pwnc modern, moesol. Mae'r diddordebau hynny i'w gweld yn glir yn y pâr hwn o weithiau ymddiddan o grŵp o blant anhysbys a beintiwyd tua 1730.

However, in his picture "The Assembly at Wanstead House, also painted around 1730 (Philadelphia Museum of Art), the Ace of Spades that Dorothy Childs holds is referred to as a top honour card or a winning marriage.
They both can't be right though symbols over time and in paintings do change?
Can you please let me know how your reference to Ace came about and any other information. We enjoyed walking around the art collection very much.
Best wishes
