1846. A female richly draped gives money to the girl of squalid dress and air, who is begging alms for her blind and decrepid father. The face of the beneficent lady indicates gentleness and charity. Her costume and manner are distinguished from those of the mendicant, and bespeak her birth and fortune. The picture was originally the property of the Art-Union, and distributed in 1846. [P. 28.]
