A Boy Selling Fruit. Naples 1903

"A Boy Selling Fruit. Naples" is a 1903 painting by Danish artist Peter Hansen (1868-1928) depicting a young boy in a dark coat and cap, seated at a table with fruit for sale. The painting is notable for its realistic portrayal of the boy and the naturalism of the setting. The muted color palette and soft lighting create a sense of intimacy and realism, and the composition draws the viewer's eye to the boy's thoughtful expression. This work is an example of Hansen's exploration of social realism, capturing the everyday life of working-class individuals in Naples, Italy.
