"Marriage A-la-Mode" is a series of six paintings created by the English painter and printmaker William Hogarth between 1743 and 1745. The series, which was later engraved and published in print form, is one of Hogarth's major works and a pinnacle of his career as a social satirist. The paintings are a sequential narrative, depicting the story of an arranged marriage between the son of a financially depleted nobleman and the daughter of a wealthy but socially inferior city merchant.

The series serves as a biting critique of the mercenary marriages common among the British upper classes in the 18th century, where financial and social gains were often prioritized over affection and compatibility. Hogarth's incisive wit and attention to detail render each scene with a complexity that invites viewers to uncover multiple layers of meaning and commentary on the mores of his time.

The titles of the individual paintings, which follow the disastrous marriage from its beginning to its tragic end, are as follows: 1) "The Marriage Settlement," 2) "The Tête à Tête," 3) "The Inspection," 4) "The Toilette," 5) "The Bagnio," and 6) "The Lady's Death." These works are notable for their rich symbolism, meticulous composition, and the interplay of moral and narrative elements, which together expose the folly and corruption of the characters involved.

Paulson 158-163 likely refers to a cataloging or reference system for Hogarth's works, possibly from a book or catalog by art historian Ronald Paulson, who is known for his extensive scholarship on Hogarth. The paintings are held in the collection of the National Gallery in London, where they continue to be studied and admired for their artistic merit and historical significance.
