The Village Orphans is a 1849 oil by George Francis Mulvany, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a group of people in old-fashioned clothes gathered in a village. There's a church in the background, and some people are standing around a table. Others are sitting or kneeling on the ground. In the foreground, a woman in a white dress is kneeling next to a little girl. The woman is holding the girl's hand, and the girl is looking up at her. It's a quiet moment in the middle of a busy scene. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Ireland.
