About the piece
Created around 1650, this masterpiece by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo is a seminal example of Spanish Baroque realism. Through the use of dramatic chiaroscuro, Murillo elevates a humble street scene into a powerful study of light and humanity, featuring a young boy surrounded by meticulously rendered still-life elements like an earthenware jug and a basket of fruit.
