Bohemians on the march 1860

"Bohemians on the March," painted in 1860 by Alfred Dehodencq, depicts a group of figures, including an elderly woman riding a donkey, walking along a dusty path. The figures are dressed in simple, often worn clothing, suggestive of poverty. The painting, currently housed in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, captures the plight of wandering Bohemians, highlighting the themes of poverty, hardship, and societal outcasts. Dehodencq's realist approach, evident in the detailed depiction of clothing, expressions, and the landscape, contributes to the painting's emotional impact.
