"Five working-class children" is a drawing by German artist Heinrich Zille, known for his depictions of everyday life in Berlin. The work, housed at the Städel Museum, showcases Zille's signature style—a blend of realism and social commentary. Zille's focus on the working class, their struggles, and their daily lives made him a popular artist in his time and continues to resonate with viewers today. The drawing's subject matter, children in their simple clothing, embodies the artist's commitment to portraying the realities of poverty. Zille's keen observation and compassionate portrayal of his subjects make "Five working-class children" a poignant depiction of social life in early 20th-century Germany.
