Het arme kind 1880 - 1897

Antonio Mancini's "Het arme kind" (The Poor Child), painted between 1880 and 1897, depicts a young girl standing in a dimly lit room. Her downcast gaze and worn clothing evoke a sense of poverty and vulnerability. The painting's realism, typical of Mancini's style, emphasizes the harsh realities of life for the working class in Naples, where Mancini spent much of his career. The painting is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into the social conditions of the late 19th century.
