Tiggerbørn, gnavende på brød 1846

"Tiggerbørn, gnavende på brød" (1846) by Johan Thomas Lundbye (1818-1848) is a watercolor depicting two children, a young boy and a girl, eating bread. The scene is likely set in a rural area, as the children's clothing and the setting suggest a simple and modest lifestyle. Lundbye, known for his depictions of Danish rural life and nature, captures a moment of quiet intimacy. This small but detailed work reflects the artist's keen observation and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday life. The work is currently in the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
