Description: | Bartolomé Esteban Murillo produced images of street urchins which were endlessly copied and imitated during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The popularity of his beggar boys may explain why this work, possibly intended as a portrait and not as a genre scene, was traditionally attributed to him. However, this is likely to be a nineteenth-century pastiche in the style of the seventeenth-century school of Seville, of which the characteristic naturalism and dark palette are emulated. | Subjects: | portrait(?); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Spanish School Æ Attributed to imitator of Murillo, Bartolomé Estebán (Spanish painter and draftsman, 1618-1682) Previously attributed to Murillo, Bartolomé Estebán (Spanish painter and draftsman, 1618-1682) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9019... | Go to resource |
