The inspection from Marriage a la mode by William Hogarth (1697 – 1764). English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist. The third in the series, The Inspection, shows the Viscount visiting a quack with a young prostitute. The viscount, unhappy with the mercury pills meant to cure his syphilis, demands a refund while the young prostitute next to him dabs an open sore on her mouth, an early sign of syphilis.
