Man jaagt kinderen weg met zweep, vrouw met zak geld en hond staan in de deuropening 1827

"Man jaagt kinderen weg met zweep, vrouw met zak geld en hond staan in de deuropening" (1827) by Auguste Raffet depicts a scene of social disparity in 19th-century France. A man wielding a whip chases away a group of children, while a woman with a bag of money and a dog stand in a doorway, highlighting the stark contrast between wealth and poverty. This lithograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the harsh realities of the time, offering a glimpse into the lives of the marginalized and vulnerable. The use of detail and dramatic composition effectively conveys the sense of urgency and social commentary.
