This photograph, titled "Oscar Rejlanders Beggar Boy" takes us back to the streets of 19th-century Europe. Swedish photographer Oscar Gustav Rejlander skillfully captures the essence of a young street child in this stunning portrait. The beggar boy sits barefoot, clad in tattered clothes that tell tales of hardship and struggle.
