Kleine straatveger en vechtende jongens before 1847

"Kleine straatveger en vechtende jongens" is a lithograph by Nicolas Toussaint Charlet created before 1847 and currently in the Rijksmuseum. The work depicts a street sweeper, likely a young boy, standing in the midst of a bustling street scene in which a group of boys engage in a brawl. Charlet, known for his humorous yet poignant portrayals of everyday life in 19th-century France, captures the gritty realism of the urban environment and the struggles of the working class through a dynamic and expressive composition.
