Sculptor Owen Hale
This figure shows poorly dressed girl,carring a meagre basket of flowers, who is proffering a bloob with her right hand,possibly to a customer.
The subject was,perhaps,inspired by the activities of 'ADVERSITY' Hume,a nicname given to Joseph Hume (1777-1855) in about 1825 on account of his predictions of imminent financial disaster.
