"A Harlot's Progress" is a series of six paintings and engravings created by the English artist William Hogarth in 1732. This seminal work is a vivid and satirical narrative that chronicles the tragic downfall of a young woman named Moll Hackabout, who arrives in London with dreams of prosperity but is quickly led into a life of prostitution. Hogarth's series is notable for its detailed and candid portrayal of 18th-century London society, offering a critical commentary on the moral and social issues of the time.

The series begins with Moll's arrival in London, where she is met by a bawd who leads her into a life of vice. As the narrative progresses, Moll's descent is depicted through various stages: from her initial seduction and life as a kept woman to her eventual decline into poverty, disease, and death. Each scene is rich with symbolism and meticulously crafted details that highlight the vices and hypocrisies of the society Hogarth sought to critique.

Hogarth's work was groundbreaking in its use of sequential art to tell a story, a precursor to modern graphic novels and comic strips. The engravings were widely distributed and became immensely popular, solidifying Hogarth's reputation as a keen social observer and satirist. "A Harlot's Progress" not only entertained but also served as a moral lesson, warning against the dangers of vice and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals.

The series also had a significant impact on the art world, influencing both contemporary and later artists. Hogarth's innovative approach to narrative art and his ability to blend humor with serious social critique have ensured that "A Harlot's Progress" remains a pivotal work in the history of Western art.
