"A Harlot's Progress" is a series of six paintings and engravings created by the renowned English artist William Hogarth in 1732. This seminal work is a vivid narrative that chronicles the descent of a young woman named Moll Hackabout into a life of prostitution and eventual death. Hogarth's series is a powerful social commentary on the moral and societal issues of 18th-century London, capturing the perils and pitfalls faced by women in a patriarchal society.

The series begins with Moll arriving in London from the countryside, full of hope and naivety. She is soon lured into a life of vice by a bawd, or madam, who exploits her innocence. As the narrative progresses, Moll's circumstances deteriorate rapidly. She becomes a kept woman, then a common prostitute, and eventually finds herself in prison. The final plate depicts her funeral, attended by a motley crew of mourners, highlighting the tragic end that befalls her.

Hogarth's work is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey complex social messages through visual storytelling. Each plate is rich with symbolism and features a host of characters, each contributing to the overarching narrative. The series was immensely popular upon its release and was later reproduced as engravings, making it accessible to a broader audience.

"A Harlot's Progress" not only solidified Hogarth's reputation as a master of satirical art but also served as a precursor to his later works, such as "A Rake's Progress" and "Marriage A-la-Mode." Through this series, Hogarth effectively used art as a medium for social critique, shedding light on the darker aspects of urban life and the consequences of moral corruption.
