About the artwork:

In The Hand of the Thief (c. 1864) by Giuseppe De Nigris, the artist transforms a moment of crime into a vivid genre scene, showing a dog clamping its jaws onto the arm of a would-be thief as he reaches for a door lock. The painting juxtaposes the refined setting—suggested by the polished wood of the door and the subtle light—with the abrupt violence of the intrusion, inviting viewers to contemplate both the absurdity and seriousness of the act. The artist’s careful rendering of textures—the smooth key, the canine fur, the thief’s tense hand—heightens the realism and draws the viewer into the immediacy of the moment. At the same time, there is a hint of moral lesson: the vigilant dog acting as protector, the thief caught in the act, and the door as threshold between order and disorder. De Nigris blends narrative drama, domestic intimacy, and a touch of humour to craft a scene that is both entertaining and morally pointed.
