William Hogarth's series of eight paintings, produced in 1732-1734 and engraved in 1734, tells the story of Tom Rakewell, the spendthrift son and heir of a miserly father. The third plate, titled "The Arrest", shows Tom's descent into debt and his arrest for unpaid bills.

A Rake's Progress is considered one of Hogarth's greatest works, showcasing his skill as a satirist and social commentator. The series was published in print form in 1735, making it widely accessible to the public.

"The Arrest" depicts Tom being taken away by bailiffs while a sex worker relieves him of his pocket watch. The broken mirror in the background symbolizes Tom's shattered life and reputation. The scene is both humorous and tragic, highlighting the consequences of Tom's reckless behavior.
