''A Harlot's Progress'' is a series of six paintings (1731) and engravings (1732) created by the English artist William Hogarth, which serve as a moral and social commentary on the life of a young woman who arrives in London and becomes a prostitute. The series is considered one of Hogarth's most significant works, marking his innovative move towards creating sequential art that tells a story with a moral lesson, a precursor to the modern comic strip.

The narrative of ''A Harlot's Progress'' follows the character Moll Hackabout from her arrival in London from the countryside, through her descent into prostitution, and ultimately to her untimely death from venereal disease. Each scene is rich with detail and symbolism, reflecting the artist's critical view of the exploitation and corruption in 18th-century London society, particularly the vulnerability of women within it.

Hogarth's work was groundbreaking in its combination of art and social critique, and ''A Harlot's Progress'' was both popular and controversial at the time of its release. The series was widely disseminated through the engravings, which made it accessible to a broader audience beyond the wealthy patrons who could afford the original paintings. The narrative and visual elements of the series have been analyzed for their portrayal of gender, class, and morality, making ''A Harlot's Progress'' a subject of enduring interest in art history and cultural studies.

The paintings themselves were destroyed in a fire at Fonthill Abbey in 1755, but the engravings, which Hogarth made himself, have preserved the visual narrative. ''A Harlot's Progress'' had a significant impact on the art world, influencing subsequent generations of artists and storytellers, and remains a key example of Hogarth's pioneering role in the development of narrative art.
