"Not to be Trifled With" is a notable painting by the American artist John George Brown, created in 1878. Brown, who was born in England in 1831 and emigrated to the United States in 1853, is renowned for his genre paintings that often depict scenes of everyday life, particularly focusing on the lives of children and street urchins in New York City during the late 19th century. His works are characterized by their detailed realism, vibrant color palette, and empathetic portrayal of his subjects.

"Not to be Trifled With" exemplifies Brown's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and the social context of the time. The painting portrays a young boy, likely a newsboy or bootblack, standing with a determined and defiant expression. His stance and the title of the painting suggest a narrative of resilience and self-reliance, common themes in Brown's work. The boy's ragged clothing and the urban backdrop provide a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by many children in the rapidly industrializing city.

Brown's ability to evoke emotion and tell a story through his art made him one of the most popular genre painters of his era. His works were widely exhibited and collected, and he played a significant role in the American art scene as a member of the National Academy of Design, where he also served as vice president.

"Not to be Trifled With" is a testament to Brown's artistic legacy and his commitment to portraying the dignity and spirit of the working-class youth. The painting remains an important piece in the study of American genre painting and continues to be appreciated for its historical and artistic significance.
