      HOGARTH

      (1697—1764)

      PLATE I.—THE SHRIMP GIRL.

      (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.

They fetched trivial prices: they were not the real thing. And there was little demand for the portraits by half-forgotten limners of the period, portraits of dull gentlemen in eighteenth-century costume, examples of wooden Thomas Hudson, famous as the master of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and of such mediocrities as Knapton and Shackleton. Yet they evoked a sort of personal historical interest, recreating, as portrait after portrait passed before our eyes, the level highway of art of those days before Hogarth delivered it from the foreign thraldom.

      Tranquilly I contemplated the procession of lifeless portraits, noting with amusement the
