"The Song of the Shirt" is an oil painting by the British artist Frank Holl, completed in 1874. The painting is a poignant social commentary on the plight of the working class during the Victorian era, particularly focusing on the hardships faced by women. The title of the painting is derived from the poem of the same name by Thomas Hood, which was written in 1843 and similarly highlights the dire conditions of the seamstresses who toiled in sweatshop environments.

In Holl's work, the central figure is a female seamstress, depicted with a look of despair as she labors over her sewing. The dimly lit room and the drab colors used in the painting underscore the bleak and oppressive atmosphere in which these women worked. The painting is notable for its realistic portrayal of the subject matter, eschewing romanticism in favor of a more gritty and authentic representation of the lives of the working poor.

Frank Holl was known for his social realist style, and "The Song of the Shirt" is one of his most famous works, exemplifying his commitment to raising awareness about social issues through his art. The painting resonated with contemporary audiences and was instrumental in drawing attention to the need for social reform. It remains an important historical document, reflecting the concerns of its time and the power of visual art to influence public opinion and policy.

"The Song of the Shirt" is held in the collection of the Tate Britain, where it continues to be exhibited and studied as an example of Victorian social realist painting and as a testament to Holl's artistic legacy. The painting's enduring significance lies in its ability to evoke empathy and its contribution to the broader discourse on labor and social conditions in 19th-century Britain.
