"The Street Urchin" (Italian: "Scugnizzo") is a notable painting by the Italian artist Antonio Mancini, created in 1872. Mancini, who was associated with the School of Resina and later influenced by the Macchiaioli group, was known for his realistic portrayal of lower-class subjects and his interest in capturing the effects of light. "The Street Urchin" is a prime example of Mancini's early work, where he depicted the gritty reality of street life in Italy.

The painting presents a young boy, a scugnizzo, which is a term used for street children in Naples, known for their often mischievous and vivacious nature. Mancini's subject is rendered with a sympathetic eye, capturing the nuances of the boy's expression and the texture of his clothing with meticulous attention to detail. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, helps to emphasize the three-dimensionality of the figure and adds a dramatic effect to the composition.

Measuring 58 x 48 cm, "The Street Urchin" is executed in oil on canvas. It showcases Mancini's skillful brushwork and his ability to convey complex emotional states through his subjects. The painting is also significant for its social commentary, as it reflects the harsh realities faced by impoverished children in 19th-century Italy.

"The Street Urchin" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and is considered an important work in Mancini's oeuvre. It is often cited in discussions of Italian realism and the depiction of social issues through art. The painting is part of a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Mancini's work and the socio-economic context of the period in which it was created.
