This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by children during this era, highlighting themes of poverty and scarcity. The artist skillfully conveys both the physical misery endured by these young individuals and their determination to make ends meet through hard work. Lecot's attention to detail is evident in her portrayal of fruits, particularly coconuts, which symbolize sustenance and nourishment amidst adversity. Through this composition, she not only showcases her artistic prowess but also sheds light on issues surrounding food supply during that time.
