About the piece
Created in 1887 by Belgian artist Alexandre Struys, 'The Breadwinner' is a powerful example of social realism. The painting uses a muted, earth-toned palette and masterful light from a central window to highlight the quiet, tender interaction between the figures within a modest domestic interior.
