"The Young Beggar" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created around 1645. This work is emblematic of Murillo's genre paintings, which often depicted the lives of the common people in 17th-century Spain, particularly focusing on children in poignant or everyday situations. The painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, showcasing Murillo's mastery in capturing the vulnerability and resilience of his subjects.

The artwork portrays a young boy in ragged clothing, sitting on the ground while delousing himself, a scene that reflects the harsh realities of poverty and neglect faced by many during Murillo's time. The choice of subject matter was innovative for its era, highlighting Murillo's compassion and empathy towards the marginalized sectors of society. The painting's composition, with its attention to naturalistic detail and the use of light to enhance the expressive quality of the boy's face, exemplifies the artist's skill in rendering human emotion and dignity amidst destitution.

"The Young Beggar" is often discussed in the context of Murillo's broader oeuvre, which includes religious works and portraits, but it is his genre scenes that most vividly capture the everyday life of his contemporaries. This painting, in particular, has been praised for its ability to convey a narrative that is both specific to its time and universal in its appeal, making it a significant piece in the study of Spanish Baroque art and in Murillo's artistic legacy. Through "The Young Beggar," Murillo not only documents the socio-economic conditions of 17th-century Seville but also elevates a moment of mundane struggle into a subject worthy of artistic contemplation and human empathy.
