Théodule Ribot

Ribot participated in a loosely defined artistic movement known as Realism, which sought to depict the gritty lives of workers and peasants. Often dark in tone and somber in mood, Realist paintings focused attention on social problems. Poor singers like these could be seen on the streets of Paris, but pictures of such singers were already a long-established theme in art history.

A vertically oriented oil painting depicts four figures in a dark interior. On our left, a man with a light skin tone sits playing a lute, his leg extended. Behind him, a man in a black hat and a child, both with medium-light skin tones, sing. To our right, another young person sings with an open mouth. Light highlights their faces while a ceramic jug, books, and a barrel rest in the shadowy foreground.
