1732
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
A Harlot's Progress: pl.3 is a 1732 ink by William Hogarth, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two women in a messy room. One sits on a chair holding a fan, dressed in fancy clothes with a dog at her feet. The other stands, pouring something from a bottle into a cup. The walls are covered in old papers, and a shelf holds framed portraits of men. A half-eaten meal sits on the table, with dirty dishes and a bucket nearby. The room looks like a chaotic, lived-in space—maybe a boarding house or a tavern. The woman in fine clothes might be a customer, while the other seems to be serving drinks. Look up etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how Hogarth made this sharp, detailed print.
William Hogarth (; 10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, engraver, satirist, cartoonist and writer.
