The Shrimp Girl is probably a relatively late work by the artist, most likely dating from the 1740s, when Hogarth experimented in his paintings with an increasingly free brush. Made as an experiment, and not strictlu 'finished', it remained with Hogarth's estate after his death. His widow was said to have told visitors: "They say he could not paint flesh. There's flesh and blood for you, -then."
An experiment of a similar kind is the famous study of Hogarth's servants, recalling the prints of the heads he had made in the 1730s.
The painter's sympathetic response to the lower classes of society anticipates the work of Chardin and Maes.
