About this work

In the painting, a man in a black coat and hat is bending down to pick up a child in the rain. The child is wearing a hat and coat, and there are two other children standing nearby, also dressed in coats and hats. The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings and a sign that reads "CIBERT DENTI." The man's action suggests a sense of urgency and concern for the child's safety. The children's clothing and the rainy weather evoke a sense of everyday life in the 19th century. This painting is characteristic of the Realism movement, which focused on depicting everyday life and social issues.
