Tre tiggerbørn 1839

"Tre tiggerbørn" ("Three Begging Children") is an 1839 lithograph by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich, depicting three children, one with a dog, in a realistic and compassionate style. The composition showcases the artist's skill in capturing detail and emotion, conveying the plight of the children through their poses and expressions. The image's stark black and white tones highlight the children's poverty and vulnerability, while the architectural setting further emphasizes their social marginalization. This work, held by the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Frølich's mastery of lithography and his keen observation of social realities in Denmark.
