About the piece
Painted in 1853 by Swedish artist Amalia Lindegren, 'The Orphans' is a masterclass in emotional storytelling. The work captures the vulnerability of youth and the quiet wisdom of age through dramatic lighting and detailed character study, from the weathered textures of the man's beard to the expectant faces of the children.
