Description: The subject is the wanton cruelty to animals and humans. It follows the `progress' of a young man, Tom Nero, who takes delight in various forms of extreme cruelty and ends up victim of his own example. The third stage of Tom's `progress' shows his brutality to animals leading inexoriably to brutality to humans. Tom Nero is being arrested in a country churchyard for having murdered Ann Gill, a servant from the house in the background. Tom has seduced Ann into stealing her mistress's silver plate and other valuables, as her letter to him, taken from Tom's pocket by the man kneeling to his right, tells us. Tom has slit her throat, wrist and finger to obtain the spoils. The knife has been retrieved and is flourished in front of Tom by one of those who apprehend him, while his open coat reveals the further weaponry of a pistol in his inside pocket. Stolen watches and a second pistol on the ground indicate his `career' as a highwayman. Those who have arrested him either throw up their hands in despair or threaten him with their fists at his savagely callous deed. The clock on the church tower shows it is 1 am. An owl, a bat, the moon and a toped yew tree add touches of gothic horror to the scene, as does the skull and crossbones on the tombstone against the fence. Ann has brought all her wordly treasures with her in a box marked `A.G.' Her Book of Common Prayer and a treatise entitled `God's revenge against murder' spill out of it, showing her as a basically good person beguiled into wickedness.
