(In the National Gallery, London)

This brilliant, impressionist sketch, done long before the era
of impressionism, is something of a marvel. “The Shrimp Girl”
cries out from Hogarth’s works, a _tour de force_, done without
premeditation, in some happy hour when the unerring hand
unerringly followed the quick eye.]
