About the piece
This 1737 oil painting by Italian artist Giacomo Ceruti captures a moment of quiet dignity among the marginalized. Known for his realistic depictions of the poor, Ceruti portrays two men in ragged attire with a sense of humanity, accented by the inclusion of a small cat and a carefully rendered still life of a ceramic jug and playing cards.
