Twee bedelaars bespreken hun opbrengst met elkaar 1840

"Twee bedelaars bespreken hun opbrengst met elkaar" is a lithograph by French artist Paul Gavarni, created in 1840. Depicting two beggars in a stark and minimalist style, the print reflects Gavarni's keen observation of Parisian life and his focus on the plight of the working class. The lithograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the social realities of 19th-century France, capturing the struggles and interactions of individuals living on the margins of society. Gavarni's ability to convey both the pathos and resilience of his subjects, along with the intricate details of their clothing and surroundings, makes "Twee bedelaars bespreken hun opbrengst met elkaar" a poignant and enduring work of social realism.
