''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.〔Mark Hallett and Christine Riding (2006). ''Hogarth''. Tate Publishing, pp.126–127. ISBN 1-85437-662-4.〕 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.〔Jonathan Jones, (The Shrimp Girl, William Hogarth (c1745) ), ''The Guardian'', 15 September 2001.〕 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."〔(The Shrimp Girl: about 1740–5, William Hogarth ), National Gallery, London, UK.〕 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. == References ==
