a realistic painting by Charles Degroux. Degroux depicts a grocer sitting in front of his shop on the streets of Brussels roasting coffee beans, while a group of homeless people come to warm themselves with him. The figures are darkly outlined. With this approximate style, the painter emphasises that he does not represent things better than they are. Among the peeling posters on the wall are announcements for balls, advertisements for expensive houses and also Extinction du Paupérisme, Napoléon III's vagabond plan. But the protagonists' misery seems hopeless.Charles Degroux (Komen, 1825 - Brussels, 1870) was a French painter, etcher and lithographer who worked in Belgium all his life.
