Donato Barcaglia (Italian, 1849-1930), lo Spazzacamino, a sculpted white marble model of a street urchin, the boy portrayed in rustic dress and with a half eaten loaf of bread and a brush tucked under his left arm, seated on a fluted and shaped plinth and raised on a further naturalistically modelled base with foliage, inscribed D. Barcaglia Milano to the reverse, on a further moulded circular plinth, 79cm high; presented on a further green serpentine marble columnar pedestal, approximately 184cm high overall Donato Barcaglia was born in Pavia and trained at the Accademia di Brera in Milan. He became well-known as a portrait sculptor, though during his long career he also sculpted a number of allegorical and social genre groups such as this urchin boy. A version of this model by the sculptor sits in Paddington Street Gardens, Marylebone. This 'Street Orderly Boy' was presented to the parish of St Marylebone during the Second World War.
