Abstract:
"A whole length figure running forwards. He is grinning; in his right hand he holds up a short shovel, in his left is a brush. His clothes are ragged; his toes appear through remnants of buckled shoes. He wears a laced hat, a cravat, and a ruffled shirt. In place of a wig is what appears to be a tightly-curled lamb's fleece resting on his shoulders; two pieces of crossed wood imitate a sword. A miniature figure in ragged clothes and a long thin queue faces him astride a tasselled cane. He is a chimney sweeper dressed for the first of May celebrations which were usual in London. The small figure may represent a child-apprentice or climbing boy, though there is nothing juvenile in its appearance."--British Museum online catalogue
