La marcha de los guardias a Finchley, también conocido como La marcha a Finchley o La marcha de los guardias, es un óleo sobre tela de 1750 del artista inglés William Hogarth, propiedad y en exhibición en el Museo Foundling. Hogarth es reconocido por sus trabajos satíricos, y La marcha de los guardias a Finchley muestra este sentido satírico; fue descrito por Hogarth como "lleno de humor". La pintura es una representación ficticia de una concentración de tropas en Tottenham Court Road para marchar al norte a Finchley para defender la capital de la segunda rebelión jacobita de 1745, la cual era parte de una serie de revueltas que habían ido ocurriendo desde finales del siglo XVII y que buscaban la restauración de la dinastía Estuardo en el trono después de la Revolución Gloriosa de 1688. Retrata a los soldados bajo un prisma humorístico, poniendo exagerado énfasis en su falta de entrenamiento y respeto por la disciplina. La marcha de los guardias a Finchley pretendía ser originalmente un regalo para el rey de Inglaterra, Jorge II. Sin embargo, se sintió insultado por el aparente incivismo de sus tropas y lo rechazó cuando le fue ofrecido. Molesto por el rechazo real, Hogarth optó por cambiar el grabado y presentar la pintura al rey de Prusia, Federico II, que, conocido por sus habilidades como soldado más que como artista, según se dice quedó más satisfecho con el regalo.

The March of the Guards to Finchley, also known as The March to Finchley or The March of the Guards, is a 1750 oil-on-canvas painting by English artist William Hogarth, owned by and on display at the Foundling Museum. Hogarth was well known for his satirical works, and The March of the Guards to Finchley has been said to have given full scope to this sense of satire; it was described by Hogarth himself as "steeped in humour". The painting is a depiction of a fictional mustering of troops on the Tottenham Court Road to march north to Finchley to defend the capital from the second Jacobite rebellion of 1745, which was part of a series of uprisings that had been occurring since the late 17th century and were aimed at returning the Stuart Dynasty to the throne after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. It portrays the soldiers in a humorous light, placing exaggerated emphasis on their lack of training and respect for discipline. The March of the Guards to Finchley was originally intended to be a gift to the incumbent King of England, George II. However, George was insulted by the apparent jab at his best troops and rejected it when it was offered to him. Upset at the King's spurning of his work, Hogarth opted to change the engraving and present the painting instead to the King of Prussia, Frederick II, who, being known for his skills as a soldier rather than an artist, was reportedly much more satisfied with the gift.
