"Il Giornalaio" (The Newsboy) is a painting by Italian artist Francesco Ghittoni, known for his realistic depictions of everyday life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The work is a prime example of Ghittoni's attention to detail and his ability to capture the socio-economic conditions of his time through portraiture. The painting portrays a young boy, presumably a newsboy, who is engaged in the act of selling newspapers. His expression and posture are indicative of the hardships faced by working children of that era, a subject that was common in the social realist movement to which Ghittoni's work is often related.

The composition of "Il Giornalaio" is carefully constructed to emphasize the contrast between the innocence of youth and the burdens of labor. Ghittoni's use of lighting and shadow, as well as his meticulous brushwork, contribute to the lifelike quality of the painting, making it a compelling study of character and a document of historical significance. The painting is not only a work of art but also a piece of social commentary, reflecting the artist's engagement with the issues of his day.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is believed to have been produced during the peak of Ghittoni's artistic career. "Il Giornalaio" is considered an important work within Ghittoni's oeuvre and is often cited in discussions of Italian realist painting at the turn of the century. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities as well as its capacity to evoke empathy and reflection on the part of the viewer.
