Spoiled children 1903

"Spoiled Children" is a 1903 etching by Italian artist Enrico Nardi (1864-1947). The scene depicts a group of figures in a rustic setting, likely a tavern or inn. The central figure, a young boy, is seated on a stool, his hands clasped as he looks intently at the viewer. He is surrounded by other figures, including a woman, a man, and another child. The artist's use of detail, particularly in the clothing and facial expressions, suggests a narrative unfolding. The artwork's title suggests a commentary on the class disparity and social issues of the time, using children as a symbol of innocence. Nardi's etching, "Spoiled Children," offers a glimpse into the complexities of social interactions and the impact of social circumstance.
