El joven mendigo
Artista: Bartolomé Esteban Murillo
Siglo XVII · España
Colección: Bartolomé Esteban Murillo
In this work by Murillo, a young beggar sits on the ground, engrossed in manipulating objects with his hands. Light falls upon him, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding gloom, and highlighting the harshness of his situation. The plump jug and basket of fruits and vegetables suggest a life of deprivation but also of hope.
