TO BE SOLD WITHOUT RESERVE

The present work is a reduced variant of Frith's 1858 The Crossing Sweeper now in the collection of the Museum of London. In the original the young woman is dressed in a grey rather than a pink dress, with a white lace trim to her bonnet. Frith frequently produced smaller versions of his most popular pictures in order to fulfill the demand from his eager collectors.
