Meisje geeft haar brood aan een huilend kind langs de weg 1836

"Meisje geeft haar brood aan een huilend kind langs de weg" (Girl gives her bread to a crying child by the road) is an 1836 lithograph by Jules David, a prominent Belgian artist of the 19th century. Depicting a scene of compassion, the artwork features a young girl offering her bread to a crying child in a forest setting. This sentimental scene aligns with the prevailing themes of Romanticism, which emphasized emotion and empathy. This small lithograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies David's ability to capture the essence of human interaction with delicate detail and emotive expression.
