To Feed the Hungry

Georg Pencz

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dining scene inside a home depicting domestic activities. The drawing shows a roundel with a table covered with a cloth, a person sitting behind it, and another standing beside it. A small dog sits at the feet of these figures. The person behind the table has a radiant face, while the standing person is gesturing. Another person is in the background holding a pail. The scene seems to be in a kitchen or dining area, decorated with a curtain in the background. The artwork features intricate linework and attention to texture, enhancing the realism of the domestic setting.
