Watercolour Sketch For His Etching 'the Ragged School, In West Street (late Chick Lane) Smithfield', Showing A Turmoil Of Young Children Under Instruction; With A Self-portrait In The Margin, Cruikshank's Later Signature In Ink; Together With An I" is a notable artwork by the 19th century British artist George Cruikshank Known for his work as an illustrator andaturist, Cruikshank uses this piece as a preparatory sketch for one of his renowned etchings.

The drawing, created in watercolour, depicts a dynamic scene centered on a ragged school; charitable institutions dedicated to the free education of destitute children in 19th century Britain. Cruikshank's artwork captures the controlled chaos of the classroom environment, filled with an array of children engaged in learning activities. It provides a valuable insight into the social conditions of that time, representing the tumult and tumultuous excitement of these rudimentary educational institutions.

Uniquely, the artwork also features a self-portrait of George Cruikshank himself, placed discreetly in the margin of the work. This detail, combined with the later signature of the artist executed in ink, adds a personal touch and marks the piece as unmistakably Cruikshank's. The title ends intriguingly with "Together With An I," though the significance of this phrase remains somewhat ambiguous, potentially representing Cruikshank's playfulness or adding a layer of deeper interpretation for viewers to unpack.

This watercolour sketch is a testament to Cruikshank's ability to capture the lived experiences of 19th-century London's lower socioeconomic classes and his significant contribution to the genres of satire and social commentary within the visual arts.
