The Thankful Poor

Artist: Henry Ossawa Tanner
Artwork: The Thankful Poor
Description: The scene is set in a soup kitchen, where a group of poor people are gathered to receive food. A woman stands in the foreground, holding a young child. The woman is wearing a tattered dress, and her face is gaunt and haggard. The child is also poorly dressed, and his face is expressionless. The woman and child are surrounded by other poor people, who are all waiting to receive food. The painting is a powerful indictment of poverty and the social conditions that create it.
