"The Orgy" is the third canvas in the series of eight paintings titled "A Rake's Progress" by the English artist William Hogarth, created around 1732–1735. This series of paintings, which was later engraved, narrates the story of Tom Rakewell, a young man who inherits a fortune from his father, squanders his wealth on luxurious living, prostitution, and gambling, and ultimately faces a downfall that leads him to imprisonment and madness. "The Orgy" specifically depicts a scene set in the Rose Tavern, a notorious venue in Covent Garden, London, known for its debauchery and lewd gatherings during the 18th century.

In this painting, Hogarth captures the chaotic and hedonistic atmosphere of the tavern. Tom Rakewell, the protagonist, is shown at the center of the scene, inebriated and carelessly throwing his money away, surrounded by prostitutes and fellow debauchees. The artwork is rich in detail and symbolism, reflecting Hogarth's critical view of the moral decay and the consequences of indulgence and vice prevalent in society at the time. The characters' expressions and the disarray of the scene convey a sense of moral and physical decay, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of excess and the loss of virtue.

"The Orgy" and the entire "A Rake's Progress" series are considered masterpieces of narrative art and social commentary. They showcase Hogarth's skill in storytelling through visual means, his keen observation of human character and society, and his innovative use of sequential art to convey a moral message. The series has been influential in the development of narrative art and remains significant in the study of 18th-century British culture and art history. Today, "A Rake's Progress," including "The Orgy," is housed in the Sir John Soane's Museum in London, where it continues to attract attention and interpretation from art historians and the public alike.
