The Shrimp Girl painting by #williamhogarth in 1750 is held in the National Gallery. The engraving was commissioned by his widow, Jane Hogarth and engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi in 1982 using a stippling method which creates strong tonal values and delicate flesh hues.
This drawing by Hogarth was used to solicit support for the Foundling Hospital in 1739. The hospital cared for the numerous abandoned babies in London, and was campaigned for by Thomas Coram. Coram’s portrait by Hogarth now hangs in the @FoundlingMuseum #williamhogarth
‘An answer to the print of John Wilkes Esq by William Hogarth’ hitting back at Hogarth depicting him holding the original print of Wilkes and behind him a rather ugly figure, suggesting Hogarth still sees beauty by including the line of beauty on the canvas behind him.
