Idle 'Prentice Betray'd by his Whore, and Taken in a Night Cellar with his Accomplice is a print created by English artist William Hogarth in 1747 as part of his series Industry and Idleness. The series, consisting of twelve prints, illustrates the contrasting lives of two apprentices, Francis Goodchild and Tom Idle, as they navigate their paths in 18th-century London. This particular print, the eighth in the series, depicts the downfall of the idle apprentice, Tom Idle.

In this scene, Tom Idle is captured in a night cellar, a place of ill repute, following a betrayal by a prostitute who has alerted the authorities. The composition vividly portrays the chaos and moral decay of the setting. Hogarth's attention to detail not only enhances the narrative but also serves as a critique of the societal conditions that foster such environments. The print, like others in the series, is rich in symbolism and moral lessons, reflecting Hogarth's views on virtue, vice, and the consequences of personal choices.

Hogarth's Industry and Idleness is significant for its exploration of moral and social themes through the lens of common people, a departure from the more aristocratic subjects often seen in art of the period. This work, along with the rest of the series, provides valuable insights into the social fabric of 18th-century London and serves as a critical commentary on the importance of industry and morality in achieving personal and societal success.
