Boy with a Dog (1655-1660) by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo
The painting represents a ragged, mischievous and cheerful boy, playing with a dog, and which is the thematic model of many paintings by Murillo, children victims of the hardship that in the mid-seventeenth century affected a Seville drowned by the taxes and the competition of Cádiz, after the plague of 1649.[2]
