The Shrimp Girl
The painting, a relatively late work by Hogarth, is one of several in which he experimented with a loose, almost impressionisticstyle

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.
