"The Shrimp Girl" is a notable work by the English painter William Hogarth, dating from around 1740. This engaging half-length portrait is not a commissioned piece but rather a character study, or a 'tronie', a type of work popular in Dutch Golden Age painting that focused on interesting or exotic facial expressions and costumes. Hogarth's painting captures a moment of everyday life, depicting a young, smiling woman who is believed to be a street vendor, selling shrimps from a basket on her head.

The artwork is characterized by its lively and informal style, which was somewhat atypical for the period, as it eschewed the formality of traditional portraiture. Hogarth's use of loose, expressive brushstrokes and the candid portrayal of the subject contribute to the painting's sense of immediacy and vitality. The girl's engaging smile and direct gaze create a connection with the viewer, suggesting a moment of interaction as if she has just turned her head to address a potential customer.

"The Shrimp Girl" is often praised for its demonstration of Hogarth's skill in capturing the essence of his subject with both empathy and a sense of humor. The painting is also an example of Hogarth's interest in the lives of ordinary people and his ability to elevate a simple scene into a work of art. The work is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London and remains an important example of Hogarth's contribution to British art, reflecting his keen observation of London life and his innovative approach to portraiture.
