THE SHRIMP GIRL
By HOGARTH (1697-1764)
This superb picture, by one of our great-
est English painters, was sold by his
widow for 10s. The National Gallery
bought it in 1884 for 10s. A noble-
man of ungainly looks once sat to
Hogarth for his portrait. Hogarth made
a faithful likefess. The sitter was of-
fended and refused to pay. Hogarth told
him, characteristically, that unless he
sent for the picture in three days he would
dispose of it, with the addition of a tail,
to Hare, the wild-beast man. The pic-
ture was instantly paid for, removed,
and destroyed.
