This series of paintings, later turned into engravings, is a moralistic narrative that follows the life of Tom Rakewell, a young man who inherits a fortune from his miserly father and subsequently squanders it on a life of extravagance and vice. The series is a critical commentary on the moral and social issues of 18th-century England, reflecting Hogarth's keen observations of the society around him.
