"A Harlot's Progress, plate 5 of 6" is one of a series of six paintings and engravings by the English artist William Hogarth, created in 1732 and subsequently published as prints in 1732. The series, which was a significant innovation in the art of narrative sequence, depicts the tragic decline of a young woman named Moll Hackabout, who arrives in London and becomes a prostitute. The fifth plate in the series continues the harrowing story of Moll's descent into misery and destitution.

In this penultimate scene, Hogarth portrays Moll Hackabout in a squalid prison room, suffering from syphilis and surrounded by fellow inmates in various states of despair. The setting is likely to be Bridewell Prison, a notorious institution in London known for housing petty criminals and prostitutes. The scene is a stark representation of the consequences of vice and corruption in 18th-century London, with Moll depicted as both a victim of her own choices and the merciless society that exploits her.

The composition of the plate is dense with symbolism and moralistic detail, characteristic of Hogarth's work. The artist's use of visual storytelling not only serves to entertain but also to critique the social and moral issues of his time. Hogarth's "A Harlot's Progress" was a commercial success and had a significant impact on the development of the modern moral subject in art, influencing both contemporaries and future generations of artists.

As with the other plates in the series, "A Harlot's Progress, plate 5 of 6" was widely disseminated as an engraving, making Hogarth's moral and social commentary accessible to a broad audience. The series as a whole is considered a landmark in the history of British art and an early example of the thematic serial format that would become a staple in visual narrative art.
