"The Industrious Prentice out of his Time and Married to his Master's Daughter" is the sixth plate in the series "Industry and Idleness," created by the English artist William Hogarth in 1747. The series comprises twelve engravings that depict the divergent paths of two apprentices, Francis Goodchild and Tom Idle, as they navigate through life. This particular plate illustrates the rewards of diligence and virtue as embodied by the character Francis Goodchild, who, having completed his apprenticeship, marries his master's daughter, thus securing both his professional and social advancement.

In this scene, Hogarth portrays the moment of Goodchild's wedding, set in a church, surrounded by figures that represent various social classes and reactions to the event. The image is rich with symbolism and detail, characteristic of Hogarth's satirical and moralistic style. The contrast between the industrious and idle apprentices is a recurring theme throughout the series, and this plate serves as a pivotal point, highlighting the prosperity and respectability that Goodchild has earned through his hard work and moral conduct.

The "Industry and Idleness" series was designed to be a form of visual instruction, emphasizing the belief in the Protestant work ethic and the idea that one's station in life could be improved through virtuous behavior. Hogarth's work was widely accessible and aimed at a broad audience, from the wealthy patrons who could afford the original prints to the common folk who might see them displayed in public spaces.

As with the other engravings in the series, "The Industrious Prentice out of his Time and Married to his Master's Daughter" reflects Hogarth's keen observation of London life and his commitment to social commentary. The series has been recognized for its artistic merit and its influence on narrative art, as well as for providing valuable insights into 18th-century society and culture.
