Sobre el cuadro
The subject of this painting is almsgiving; charitable donation for the relief of the poor. The fisherman seated in the centre of the scene, and surrounded by his family, is mending a net and is about to make a donation to the blind beggar. The beggar is accompanied by a bashful little girl, who here stands chewing the corner of her scarf expectantly.
The scene is typical of the genre of cottage door painting, popular from the eighteenth cnetury and throughout the nineteenth. The setting is almost certainly Scotland, where the artist Thoams Fead staged many of his paintings. Faed himself was blind for the last seven years of his life.
