This figure with a monkey at his feet is modelled after the engraving entitled ‘Mounta Banck - Le Charlatan - Il Charlatano’, after a drawing by Marcellus Laroon the Elder, from the series 'The Cryes of the City of London Drawne after the Life’, first published in full in 1688 by Pierce Tempest, and republished in 1711 by Henry Overton, London. The series depicts itinerant dealers and other remarkable characters who frequented London’s streets at that time.
