The Shrimp Girl is a painting by the English artist William Hogarth. It was painted around 1740–45, and is held by the National Gallery, London.[1]
The free handing of the "Shrimp Girl" is
combined with cockney vivacity. The girl is brushed onto the canvas
in a vigorous impressive style.
The painting, a relatively
late work by Hogarth, is one of several in which he experimented with a loose,
almost impressionistic style comparable to the work of Fragonard. In its subject matter, it resembles the prints of hawkers and traders
popular in Hogarth's day.[2]
The painting
depicts a woman selling shellfish on the streets of London, typically a
job for the wives and daughters of fishmongers who owned stalls in markets
such as Billingsgate. The subject balances a large basket on her head, bearing shrimps
and mussels, together with a half-pint pewter pot as a measure. Its size suggests
that it was intended as a portrait, rather than a sketch for a
larger work.
It is not
strictly finished and was still in Hogarth's estate after his death. His widow
Jane was said to have told visitors on showing the picture to them: "They
say he could not paint flesh. There is flesh and blood for you."[3] It was only sold after his wife's death in 1789, and first received
its title The Shrimp Girl in a Christie's sale catalogue.
