"Girl Writing by Lamplight" is a watercolor painting by the English artist William Henry Hunt (1790–1864), known for his mastery in the medium and his contribution to the genre of British watercolor painting. The work is characteristic of Hunt's detailed and vivid style, often focusing on domestic and intimate scenes. The painting depicts a young girl absorbed in writing, illuminated by the soft glow of a lamp. The artwork captures the quiet concentration of the subject, with a rich interplay of light and shadow that enhances the sense of depth and texture.

William Henry Hunt was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Although not a formal member, William Henry Hunt's work shared the Brotherhood's fascination with realism, attention to detail, and a clear, luminous palette. "Girl Writing by Lamplight" exemplifies these qualities, showcasing Hunt's skill in rendering the effects of light on different surfaces and his ability to convey a narrative through the depiction of ordinary moments.

The painting is a fine example of Hunt's genre scenes, which often featured children and the working class, painted with a combination of sentimentality and realism. This work is significant in its portrayal of the act of writing, a theme that resonates with the Victorian era's emphasis on literacy and education, especially among women and children. The artwork's date of creation is not precisely documented, but it is likely from the mid-19th century, during the period when Hunt was most active and his style fully developed.

"Girl Writing by Lamplight" is held in a private collection or a public institution, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries that feature British watercolors from the 19th century. The painting continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as an example of the social values and themes prevalent during the Victorian period.
