Messer, Scheren und Rasiermesser zu schleifen

Britische Grafik 1790–1796, veröffentlicht 1795

This is a painting of a knife grinder interacting with two women outside a building. The man in a brown coat and hat is next to a wheeled grinding apparatus. One woman in a white dress and bonnet is handing him an object, possibly a knife. Another woman is standing in the background, and an elder is seated in the background, facing away. The setting has gentle lighting and shadows, suggesting the evening or early morning. The scene is reminiscent of the style of Francis Wheatley.
