This depicts a cropper brandishing his shears, which were used to crop off fibres projecting from pieces of cloth, a skilled task. It was the mechanisation of this process that led to the Luddite riots. The little girl has a worried, adult-looking face, perhaps representing how her mother felt about the hopeless bravado of her father.
