"Petites mendiantes" (English: "Little Beggars") is a 19th-century painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Created in 1880, this work is an example of Bouguereau's mastery in depicting the human figure and his interest in themes of poverty and childhood. The painting portrays two young girls in a state of destitution, a subject that reflects the social realities of the time and evokes the viewer's empathy through its realistic portrayal and emotional resonance.

Bouguereau was renowned for his technically proficient and highly polished style, often focusing on classical subjects, mythological themes, and the female form. However, "Petites mendiantes" is part of a subset of his oeuvre that deals with more contemporary and social themes. In this painting, Bouguereau's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to detail, serve to enhance the vulnerability and innocence of the children depicted.

The composition of "Petites mendiantes" is marked by the contrast between the youthful subjects and the harshness of their circumstances. The figures are rendered with a softness and a lifelike quality that was characteristic of Bouguereau's approach. The painting's emotional impact is heightened by the artist's choice of facial expressions and body language, which convey a sense of weariness and resignation beyond the children's years.

"Petites mendiantes" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art exhibitions dedicated to Bouguereau's work. The painting is often discussed in the context of the artist's social consciousness and his ability to capture the nuances of human experience. As with many of Bouguereau's works, "Petites mendiantes" continues to be appreciated for its technical excellence and its poignant commentary on the human condition.
