Artist: Jozef Israels
Artwork: Alone in the World
Description: The painting depicts a poor widow sitting in her sparsely furnished room. She is wearing a black dress and a white cap, and her head is bowed in prayer. The only light in the room comes from a small window on the left side of the painting. The painting is a study of poverty and isolation, and it is a powerful indictment of the social conditions that existed in the 19th century.
