English Servants This collective portrait of English servants painted by William Hogarth in the mid-eighteenth century features three young women who perhaps somewhat resembled indentured servant Anne Orthwood, who had immigrated to Virginia nearly a century earlier. No likeness of Orthwood exists. Unlike Orthwood, most servants who came to the Chesapeake during the seventeenth century were young boys, like the boy depicted here at top center.
