Feeding the Hungry

Conrad Meyer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a medieval banquet scene. The scene includes a group of figures gathered around a table in a grand hall, with servants carrying trays of food. Additional figures in the background attend to baskets of provisions. Draperies hang above the table, and on the far right, a figure stands with two children. The artwork is rendered with detailed linework and shading in a style reminiscent of a classic etching.
