拍場告示
It has come to our attention that a larger version of this picture exists, dated 1861, and identical in every detail bar a crack in the floorboards. It is therefore probable that the present lot is not the Royal Academy version, but a slightly later work.

拍品專文

The critic of the Art Journal commented on this picture when exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1862:

The Sweep (108), F.D. Hardy, wherein we see, in the early morning, two children who have risen from their beds, and are surveying with awe and wonder the operations of the sweep, who is in the chimney just within the cloth that he has spread before the fireplace. A most natural incident, very happily told.
