En fattig familie. Nr. 25 i Chr. Winther og M. Rørbye, "25 Billeder for små børn" 1846

"En fattig familie. Nr. 25 i Chr. Winther og M. Rørbye, "25 Billeder for små børn", (A Poor Family. No. 25 in Chr. Winther and M. Rørbye, "25 Pictures for Small Children"), created by Adolph Kittendorff in 1846, is a poignant depiction of a poor family. The black and white lithograph, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, shows a mother and her children in a simple room, possibly an attic. The image, with its detailed lines and somber tones, captures the hardships faced by many families in the 19th century. This piece, part of a series of illustrations for children, serves as a visual narrative of social realities in a simple, engaging format.
