"A Harlot's Progress" is a series of six paintings and engravings created by the English artist William Hogarth in 1731. The series is a pioneering work in the genre of sequential art, depicting 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 work is notable for its vivid storytelling, rich detail, and moralistic undertones, offering a scathing critique of 18th-century London society.

The narrative begins with Moll's arrival in the city, where she is met by a bawd who entices her into a brothel. As the series progresses, Moll's descent into vice and degradation is depicted through various stages: from her initial seduction and life as a kept woman, to her arrest and imprisonment, and ultimately to her death from venereal disease. Each scene is meticulously crafted to highlight the social and moral issues of the time, including the exploitation of women, the corruption of the legal system, and the pervasive nature of poverty and disease.

Hogarth's use of symbolism and attention to detail in "A Harlot's Progress" is profound. The series is replete with visual metaphors and allegorical elements that enhance its narrative depth. For instance, the presence of certain animals, objects, and background characters in each scene serves to underscore the moral lessons Hogarth intended to convey. The work also reflects Hogarth's innovative approach to art, blending elements of satire, realism, and social commentary.

"A Harlot's Progress" was highly influential in its time and remains a significant work in the history of Western art. It not only established Hogarth's reputation as a leading artist of his era but also laid the groundwork for future developments in narrative art and visual storytelling. The series has been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis and continues to be celebrated for its artistic and historical significance.
