一个妓女的堕落

In 1731 the humane artist William Hogarth is struck by the plight of prostitutes who have descended into Mother Neddwells brothels and determines to paint a series of cautionary tableaux,using young prostitute Mary Collins. Hogarths wife and father-in-law are dismayed but Hogarth has no sexual interest in Mary,hoping only to help her with the posing fee he gives her. Unfortunately life mirrors art as Marys downfall follows that of the harlot in the paintings.
