Question: What are the names of the series of portraits!?
What are the series of pictures I think theres about 6 in each series pained by a British artist (first name may have been William)
One features an unhappy, loveless marriage and the other is a young girls journey into the world of prostitution!.
There was a channel 4 documentry on a few months ago about this artist!.

Steve is right, it's Hogarth!. However, I think the series you are describing is called "the Harlot's Progress!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
