"Pray Remember the Poor Sweeper" is an evocative watercolor and ink drawing created by the renowned English artist and caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson in 1820. Known for his keen eye for social commentary and his ability to capture the essence of 18th and early 19th-century British life, Rowlandson's work often delved into the lives of the common people, and this piece is no exception.

The artwork portrays a street sweeper, a figure emblematic of the urban poor in Regency-era London. The sweeper, depicted with a humble and somewhat forlorn expression, is shown in the midst of his laborious task, sweeping the streets with a broom. His tattered clothing and worn-out shoes speak volumes about the harsh realities faced by the lower classes during this period. The title, "Pray Remember the Poor Sweeper," serves as a poignant reminder of the societal neglect and the plea for compassion towards the impoverished.

Rowlandson's technique in this piece is characterized by his fluid lines and adept use of watercolor to bring a sense of immediacy and life to the scene. The background, though minimally detailed, effectively situates the sweeper within the bustling urban environment, emphasizing the contrast between his solitary figure and the indifferent city around him.

This work is a testament to Rowlandson's ability to blend humor with pathos, offering a critical yet empathetic view of the social conditions of his time. It reflects the broader themes of his oeuvre, which often highlighted the disparities between different social strata and the everyday struggles of the marginalized. "Pray Remember the Poor Sweeper" remains a significant piece within Rowlandson's body of work, encapsulating his artistic style and his commitment to social commentary.
