據悉,這幅畫原作現藏于美國弗利爾美術館(Freer Gallery of Art),原名叫《揭缽圖:鬼子母的皈依》(Raising the Alms-Bowl: The Conversion of Hariti the Mother of Demons)。
不過要注意一點:館方目前將其定為清代作品(館方原載:1644-1911),標注“舊傳仇英”,并非確定的仇英真跡。
The character appears in Raising the Alms-Bowl: The Conversion of Hariti the Mother of Demons, a work now housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the United States. Although the painting is often attributed online to Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) painter Qiu Ying, the museum currently identifies it as a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) work and notes that the attribution remains unconfirmed.

畫中出現的各色妖怪都是來幫鬼子母“揭缽”的——蝦精就是其中的一個小兵。這只擬人化的蝦兵,被作者畫得極其出圈——上半身是蝦,下半身是穿搭博主。
The painting depicts the story of Hariti, a demoness who later repented and became a protector of children. The shrimp figure is one of several fantastical creatures portrayed as helping her recover her son.
