Description

Sculpture of a organ grinder with a lavishly decorated street organ on wheels. The man, dressed in tails and top hat in the style of the late 19th century, carries a drum with a cymbal on his back. A little monkey is sitting on the box, begging with his open hand. A street dog sits behind the man and 'sings' with his mouth stretched out.
