Vecchia Contadina Con Gallina; E Ragazzo Con Asino is a notable pair of artworks by Giacomo Ceruti (Il Pitocchetto), a renowned Italian artist of the late 17th to early 18th centuries. Known for his genre works in Lombardy, Ceruti was the principal forerunner in portraying rural and poor subjects, also known as "pitocchi," bringing them to the forefront of his artistic narrative.

Vecchia Contadina Con Gallina translates to "Old Peasant Woman with Hen," while E Ragazzo Con Asino translates to "And Boy with Donkey." These works capture the essence of Ceruti's artistic sensibilities as they offer a glimpse into the life of the rural Lombard society during his time. The paintings showcase a remarkable ability in representing human subjects with realism and empathy, demonstrating Ceruti's aptitude not just for realism but also for socially aware representation.

The Old Peasant Woman with Hen shows attention to detail in the depiction of an elderly woman, her face lined with age and hardship, holding a hen. Meanwhile, Boy with Donkey synthesizes the symbolic innocence of youth against the ruggedness of manual labor represented by the donkey. Complex in narrative yet simple in approach, they are sterling examples of Ceruti's "pitocchi" works.

The works currently reside in private collections. While their dates of creation are not specifically known, they likely were made during Ceruti's 'mature period,' which spanned approximately from 1720s-1740s. It was during this time that Ceruti produced numerous works focused on "pitocchi," emphasizing the dignity of his poor and rural subjects in stark, often unidealized settings. Therefore, Vecchia Contadina Con Gallina; E Ragazzo Con Asino serve as undoubtedly significant works within Ceruti's oeuvre, encapsulating the mission he had undertaken to shed light on a key segment of society that had largely remained invisible in fine arts until then.
