Summary

Description
Nederlands: Lucifermeisje
English: Matchstick girl. The painter Floris Arntzenius (1864-1925) lived and worked much of his life in The Hague, the Netherlands. He painted many city scapes: bridges, streets and the various markets held in The Hague. Especially the narrow and busy street called Spuistraat - one of The Hague's well known shopping streets - was a favorite theme of Arntzenius and his audience. On this painting he depicted a matchstick girl, which was an exception in the work of Arntzenius. Although we may find working class types on his city scapes, usually there are no homeless people and beggars. The disabled girl, who sold matches, is probably standing at one of the entrances of the 'Passage' shopping mall, which opened in 1885.
