Tre tiggerbørn 1839

"Tre tiggerbørn" (Three Beggars) is a pencil drawing by Lorenz Frølich from 1839. The drawing depicts three children, a boy, a girl, and a young woman, standing outside a building with a dog at their feet. The artist, known for his depictions of everyday life and social commentary, captures the hardship of poverty through the children's tattered clothing and pleading expressions. This work, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, provides insight into Danish society in the 19th century.
