"The Crossing Sweeper" is a notable painting by the 19th-century British painter William Powell Frith, created in 1858. This work is significant in Frith's oeuvre as it exemplifies his keen interest in Victorian society and his penchant for depicting scenes of everyday life. The painting portrays a young street urchin, a common figure in Victorian London, whose job was to sweep the road clear of mud and manure for pedestrians at busy street crossings in exchange for a tip. Frith's depiction not only captures the socio-economic conditions of the era but also highlights the plight and resilience of children employed in such menial labor.

The painting is rendered with meticulous detail, a characteristic of Frith’s artistic style, which helps convey a vivid sense of realism and empathy towards the subject. "The Crossing Sweeper" is often discussed in the context of Frith's critical commentary on social issues, alongside his other works that depict various strata of Victorian society. This piece is housed in a notable collection, contributing to its historical and cultural significance in the study of British art of the period. Through this work, Frith provides a window into the social dynamics and daily struggles of the lower classes in Victorian England, making it a valuable piece for both art historical and sociological examination.
