"The Exhausted Ragpicker" is an etching by French artist Jean-François Rafaëlli, created in 1880. The artwork depicts a weary ragpicker, likely a poor Parisian, sitting on a hillside holding a stick with a slumped posture. Rafaëlli was known for his depictions of working-class life, and this piece captures the exhaustion and hardship of a man who scavenges for a living. This piece is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
