"A Savoyard Boy" (Danish: "Savoyarddreng") is an 1886 painting by the Danish artist Elise Konstantin-Hansen. This work is a notable example of Konstantin-Hansen's contribution to the Danish art scene in the late 19th century, a period marked by a burgeoning interest in realism and the depiction of everyday life. Elise Konstantin-Hansen, born in 1858, was part of a prominent artistic family; her father, Constantin Hansen, was a well-known painter, and her siblings also pursued careers in the arts.

The painting portrays a young Savoyard boy, a subject that reflects the artist's interest in capturing the lives of marginalized and itinerant individuals. Savoyards were often depicted in 19th-century European art and literature as wandering street performers or chimney sweeps, originating from the Savoy region in the French Alps. These children were known for their distinctive costumes and their roles in urban folklore as symbols of poverty and resilience.

Konstantin-Hansen's depiction of the Savoyard boy is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a compassionate portrayal of her subject. The boy is rendered with a sense of dignity and humanity, standing in stark contrast to the often romanticized or pitiful representations of such figures in contemporary art. The painting's composition, use of light, and color palette demonstrate Konstantin-Hansen's skillful technique and her ability to convey emotion and narrative through portraiture.

"A Savoyard Boy" is part of the collection at the Hirschsprung Collection in Copenhagen, a museum dedicated to 19th and early 20th-century Danish art. The painting remains an important work within Konstantin-Hansen's oeuvre, reflecting her commitment to social realism and her empathetic approach to her subjects. Through this work, Konstantin-Hansen not only contributes to the rich tapestry of Danish art but also provides a poignant commentary on the lives of the less fortunate in society.
