The story of The Young Beggar
Also known as The Lice-Ridden Boy, the picture is the first known depiction of a street urchin by Murillo. It was bought by a dealer named Lebrun and given to Louis XVI for the royal collection, and it is now in the Louvre.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo was a Spanish Baroque painter. Although he is best known for his religious works, Murillo also produced a considerable number of paintings of contemporary women and children. These lively realistic portraits of flower girls, street urchins, and beggars constitute an extensive record of the everyday life of his times. He also painted two self-portraits, one in the Frick Collection portraying him in his 30s, and one in London's National Gallery portraying him about 20 years later. In 2017–18, the two museums held an exhibition of them.
