A Harlot's Progress: pl.5 is a 1732 ink by William Hogarth, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a chaotic scene of a woman, presumably a harlot, in a state of disarray. She is surrounded by various objects, including a mirror, a chair, and a table, which are scattered about the room. The woman appears to be in a state of distress, with her clothes disheveled and her hair unkempt. In the background, there is a fireplace with a fire burning, and a window with curtains drawn. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of turmoil and disorder. The image is a representation of the consequences of a life of vice and immorality, and serves as a warning to those who would follow a similar path. Check out more works by artist Hogarth, William.
