In the midst of this bustling scene, you may feel a little confused, as you will see a painting that is as striking as the Mona Lisa – The Beggar's Boy.
The painting of the beggar boy shows a unique artistic style in its composition, color and line. The young beggar in the painting, his eyes are full of deep sorrow and helplessness, and his hand seems to reach out to the viewer, as if begging for our sympathy and understanding. His image is in stark contrast to the female figure in the Mona Lisa, one is the image of a noblewoman, the other is the image of a person at the bottom of society.

You will find that art is not only a beautiful picture, but also a reflection of social phenomena. You will begin to think about the living conditions of the people at the bottom of society represented in "The Young Beggar", their plight and helplessness.
