"A young lady at confession; on the right, a monk leans on his elbow, right hand resting on a Bible, lecherously looking sideways at a young girl beside him, who stands holding a rosary, looking down sorrowfully with tears running down her cheek, she wears a veil on her head. On the ledge are various symbols of mortality, and a paper, lettered "...From fornication and all other deadly Sins Libera nos Domine! 'Tis better to Marry than burn...", to the far left stands an altar; after Millar; scratched-letter state."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state

The fourth plate in the series The rake's progress. In this scene two baliffs, one with an arrest notice in his hand, have stopped Tom Rakewell's sedan chair in St. James's Street; Tom is presumably on his way to White's gaming house which can be seen in the background. They are foiled in their attempt to arrest Tom for debt as Sarah Young, the young woman whom he had seduced and abandoned, offers the bailiffs her purse instead. Sarah is now a dealer in millinery as is suggested by the notions falling from her purse. In the right foreground a shoe-black apparently taking advantage of the situation to take hold of Tom's elegant walking stick. Above them a careless lamplighter spills some oil on Tom's head. To the left a Welshman, probably the creditor, honouring St David's day (March 1st) with a leek in his hat, accompanied by his manicured dog, simply watches the scene. In the distance is the gate of St James's Palace with a crowd of sedan-chairs approaching to celebrate the birthday of Queen Caroline
