About the Item

Adorable drawing from the middle of the 19th century representing an alms giving scene in a church. In the background of the drawing, there is a painting representing Saint Martin cutting off his coat to offer it to a beggar. This painting echoes the symbolism of the sketch. 7 characters appear on the drawing: a poorly dressed woman with a patched dress, her baby in her arms and her son, begging from 2 women and 2 richly dressed men. One of the wealthy women hands a cloth to the little boy. In its very nice original frame (some lacks on this one). Black pencil, white gouache. 19th - France Provenance: French private collection.
