ACT I.

Door R, front. Door L, front. A bedroom door in one of the walls. The walls are hung with two or three dozen framed chromos or something of the kind to represent oil pictures — the "Angelus" (covered) in the most prominent place, on a tall easel .
Curtain exposes CHIMNEY SWEEP sitting on a footstool, his head bowed on his knees, asleep. He gradually comes awake, yawns, stretches, looks around. Begins munching an apple .

( CHICAGO is fidgeting around, the others sad. The WOMEN and the OLD MAN sitting . DUTCHY standing. The LEROUX FAMILY are cheaply and modestly but respectably dressed . DUTCHY' s clothes show wear; he is clad in the ornamental cap, baldric, and high boots of a German college-corps student, and has a court-plaster X on his cheek from a recent duel . CHICAGO is neatly dressed as to cut, but his clothes are cheap and rather the worse for wear . MARIE is softly crying; has her head in CECILE' s lap, who is stroking her hair.)

ACT II.
TIME — the next day but one .
PLACE — The Studio Again .
Half of the pictures, including the Angelus, are gone. Half that remain are placarded "SOLD" in big letters. In the most prominent place, on easels, two good-sized pictures. One of them ("the Sowers,") is finished, the other (for the WIDOW to work at) is roughly begun .
Everybody present is dressed as before, except that CHICAGO wears a shabby coat and necktie of different color from those he left at the pawn-shop. The coat is close-buttoned, for he has no vest. He is pains-takingly sewing a vast white or bright yellow patch into the seat of a pair of old blue pants .
(Present the 5 YOUNG ARTIST-FRIENDS and the 4 FOREIGN PUPILS. )
The PUPILS stand at easels, painting. The YOUNG ARTISTS move from easel to easel, instructing, pointing out defects, sometimes taking the brush and making corrections — with now and then a remark; they presently gather around a pupil. Rather large picture of a Dachshund — visible to audience .
