"An Election Entertainment" is a painting by the English artist William Hogarth, completed in 1754 as the first in a series of four works known as "The Election" series. These paintings were created during a period of heightened political activity in Britain, with Hogarth using his art to provide a satirical commentary on the corruption and chaotic nature of electoral politics of the time.

The painting depicts a raucous election feast, where the fictional candidates of the Whig and Tory parties are vying for votes in the corrupt borough of "Guzzledown." The scene is set in an inn, filled with a diverse and unruly crowd of voters and political agents, showcasing the bribery, drunkenness, and general debauchery that were often associated with 18th-century elections.

Hogarth's work is rich in detail and symbolism, with various elements in the painting providing insights into the political and social issues of the day. The characters represented in "An Election Entertainment" include a range of societal figures, from the aristocracy to the working class, each depicted with the artist's characteristic blend of humor and critique.

As a political satire, the painting serves as a historical document reflecting the artist's views on the electoral process and the broader political landscape of his time. "An Election Entertainment" and its companion pieces in "The Election" series are considered significant works in Hogarth's oeuvre, offering a glimpse into the complexities of 18th-century British politics and the role of art in social commentary.

The painting is held in the collection of Sir John Soane's Museum in London, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance. "An Election Entertainment" remains a key example of Hogarth's skill in narrative painting and his enduring legacy as a social satirist.
