"The Shrimp Girl" is a notable work by the English painter William Hogarth, believed to have been painted around 1740–1745. This engaging half-length portrait is not a formal commission but rather a character study or a 'tronie', a type of work common in Dutch Golden Age painting that focused on interesting or exotic facial expressions and costumes. The painting showcases a young woman, presumably a street vendor, with a lively and captivating expression, selling shrimps from a basket on her head.

Hogarth, renowned for his satirical and moralistic series of paintings and engravings, such as "A Harlot's Progress" and "Marriage A-la-Mode", also demonstrated his skill in portraiture with "The Shrimp Girl". The work is characterized by its loose and vibrant brushwork, which was ahead of its time and prefigures the impressionist movement by over a century. The subject's direct gaze and the immediacy of her smile engage the viewer, while the rapid execution of the painting suggests it may have been done from life, capturing a fleeting moment.

"The Shrimp Girl" is held in the collection of the National Gallery, London, and remains a significant example of Hogarth's portraiture, offering insight into his ability to capture the essence of London street life with warmth and humanity. The painting is often celebrated for its vivacity and the artist's evident delight in the character of his subject, making it a cherished piece within Hogarth's oeuvre and an important work in the study of 18th-century British art.
