"Newsboy" is a notable painting by the British-born American artist John George Brown (1831–1913), who gained prominence for his realistic depictions of street children and everyday life in New York City during the late 19th century. Brown's work is characterized by its detailed portrayal of his subjects, often imbued with a sense of narrative and sentimentality. "Newsboy" exemplifies Brown's focus on the urban poor, particularly children who worked as newspaper vendors to support themselves and their families.

The painting captures a young boy in the attire typical of a newsboy of the period, possibly standing on a city street corner or another public space where he would sell papers to passersby. The subject's expression and posture are rendered with care, reflecting Brown's ability to convey the individual personalities and circumstances of his subjects. The work is often noted for its fine attention to detail, from the texture of the boy's clothing to the play of light and shadow on his face, highlighting Brown's skill in both composition and the use of color.

As a piece of social realism, "Newsboy" also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the socio-economic conditions of the time. It reflects the broader context of child labor and urban poverty in post-Civil War America, themes that were frequently explored by artists and reformers of the era. Brown's paintings, including "Newsboy," contributed to the period's visual culture and helped to raise awareness about the lives of marginalized populations in rapidly growing American cities.

"Newsboy" is part of Brown's larger body of work that has been collected and exhibited in various art institutions, reflecting the enduring interest in his portrayal of American life in the 19th century. The painting is representative of Brown's artistic legacy and his contribution to the genre of genre painting, which focused on scenes of everyday life and the common folk.
