The young rag-gather by Guillaume-Charles Brun
The painting depicts a young girl, barefoot and ragged, sitting on a curb in a city street. She is surrounded by scraps of fabric and other detritus, which she has collected to sell. The girl’s face is dirty and her expression is one of weariness and resignation. The painting is a powerful reminder of the harsh realities of poverty and the exploitation of child labor.
