The Industrious 'Prentice Lord-Mayor of London is a 1747 ink by William Hogarth, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a busy street scene with a large crowd of people. In the center, a man is being carried in a chair, surrounded by others holding flags and banners. The scene is set in front of a row of buildings, with people watching from the windows and balconies. The crowd is dressed in 18th-century clothing, and the atmosphere appears to be one of celebration or procession. The level of detail in the image suggests that it may be an engraving or etching.
