Jean-François Raffaëlli, a notable French realist painter, sculptor, and printmaker, created "Les Petits ânes" during the late 19th century. Raffaëlli, born in 1850 and active until his death in 1924, was renowned for his keen observation of the everyday lives of the working class and the urban poor, often depicting scenes of Paris and its outskirts with a profound sense of realism and empathy. His works are characterized by their detailed representation and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which bring a sense of immediacy and intimacy to his subjects.

"Les Petits ânes" exemplifies Raffaëlli's dedication to capturing the essence of rural and urban life. The painting portrays a group of small donkeys, likely used for labor or transportation, set against a backdrop that hints at the rustic environment they inhabit. Through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail, Raffaëlli not only highlights the physical characteristics of the animals but also imbues the scene with a sense of narrative, inviting viewers to ponder the lives and labors of both the animals and the people who rely on them.

Raffaëlli's work often reflected his interest in social issues and his commitment to portraying the dignity of the working class. "Les Petits ânes" is no exception, as it subtly underscores the interdependence between humans and animals in a pre-industrial society. The painting is a testament to Raffaëlli's skill in blending realism with a compassionate portrayal of his subjects, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre and within the broader context of 19th-century French art.

Raffaëlli's contributions to art were recognized by his contemporaries, and he exhibited alongside the Impressionists, although his style remained distinct from theirs. His works, including "Les Petits ânes," continue to be appreciated for their technical mastery and their poignant depiction of everyday life, securing his legacy as a pivotal figure in the realist movement.
