"A Harlot's Progress" (La Carrière d'une Prostituée) is a series of six paintings and engravings created by the English artist William Hogarth in 1732. This seminal work is a vivid narrative that chronicles the tragic downfall of a young woman named Moll Hackabout, who arrives in London with dreams of prosperity but is quickly ensnared in a life of vice and degradation. Hogarth's series is a poignant social commentary on the moral and societal issues of 18th-century London, particularly focusing on the exploitation and vulnerability of women.

The series begins with Moll's arrival in the city, where she is met by a bawd who lures her into a life of prostitution. As the narrative unfolds, Moll's descent is depicted through various stages: from her initial seduction and life as a kept woman to her eventual decline into poverty, disease, and imprisonment. The final plate depicts her untimely death and the subsequent neglect of her young child.

Hogarth's work is notable for its intricate detail and the use of symbolism to convey moral lessons. Each plate is rich with visual elements that offer insights into the characters' lives and the societal context. For instance, the presence of certain objects, gestures, and background scenes serve to enhance the narrative and underscore the themes of corruption, vice, and the consequences of moral decay.

"A Harlot's Progress" was groundbreaking in its approach to storytelling through art, blending elements of satire, realism, and moral instruction. It garnered significant attention and acclaim, establishing Hogarth as a pioneering figure in the development of sequential art and narrative painting. The series also inspired various adaptations and imitations, further cementing its influence on both contemporary and future generations of artists and social commentators.
