The Shrimp Girl is a painting by the English artist William Hogarth. It was painted around 1740–45, and is held by the National Gallery, London. The painting, a relatively late work by Hogarth, is one of several in which he experimented with a loose, almost impressionistic style comparable to the work of Fragonard. In its subject matter, it resembles the prints of hawkers and traders popular in Hogarth's day.

  • La vendedora de camarones (en inglés, The Shrimp Girl), es uno de los cuadros más conocidos del pintor británico William Hogarth. Está realizado en óleo sobre lienzo. Mide 63,5 cm de alto y 52,5 cm de ancho. Fue pintado entre 1740 y 1745, encontrándose actualmente en la National Gallery de Londres, Reino Unido. A veces es citada como La vendedora de quisquillas, según la traducción que se dé al término shrimp. Además de sus ciclos narrativos sobre costumbres de la época, Hogarth destacó como retratista, como puede verse en este, uno de sus mejores retratos, realizado en la parte final de su carrera. Se trata de una composición improvisada, ágil, en la que con espontaneidad se refleja lo observado por el pintor.

In its subject matter, it resembles the prints of hawkers and traders popular in Hogarth's day. 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. Its size suggests that it was intended as a portrait, rather than a sketch for a larger work. It is not strictly finished and was still in Hogarth's estate after his death. His widow Jane was said to have told visitors on showing the picture to them: "They say he could not paint flesh. There is flesh and blood for you. " It was only sold after his wife's death in 1789, and first received its title The Shrimp Girl in a Christie's sale catalogue. The painting (retitled The Saleswoman of Crabs) was used on a postage stamp by the Yemen Arab Republic in 1969.
