Luck in a Moment 1874

"Luck in a Moment" is a painting by Augustus Edwin Mulready, created in 1874. The painting depicts two young boys in a street scene, one holding a bundle of newspapers, the other holding out his hand for a coin. The scene is likely set in London, as evidenced by the architecture in the background. The painting is a charming glimpse into the lives of children in the 19th century, and it captures a sense of innocence and wonder. Mulready's painting is a realist depiction of everyday life, a popular genre in 19th century art.
