"A Rake's Progress III: The Rake at the Rose Tavern" is the third in a series of eight paintings by the English artist William Hogarth, titled "A Rake's Progress." Created in 1732–1734, the series depicts the decline and fall of Tom Rakewell, the spendthrift son of a rich merchant, who squanders his fortune on luxurious living, prostitution, and gambling. In this particular scene, Hogarth portrays Rakewell at a moment of hedonistic indulgence within the Rose Tavern, a notorious brothel in Covent Garden, London.

The painting is rich in moral and social commentary, as with the other works in the series. It shows Rakewell surrounded by prostitutes, some stealing from him while he is distracted by another. The chaotic and morally corrupt atmosphere of the tavern is vividly depicted, with various characters engaged in debauchery. The scene serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of vice and the loss of virtue.

Hogarth's work is renowned for its narrative complexity and attention to detail, with each painting in the series acting as a chapter in Rakewell's tragic story. "The Rake at the Rose Tavern" is no exception, offering a glimpse into 18th-century society and its vices. The series as a whole is considered a seminal work of narrative art and a precursor to the modern comic strip.

The original paintings were later engraved and published as prints, allowing for wider dissemination and adding to Hogarth's fame. Today, "A Rake's Progress" is held in high regard as a significant example of satirical art, and the paintings are housed in the Sir John Soane's Museum in London. "The Rake at the Rose Tavern" continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its insightful commentary on the social issues of Hogarth's time.
