Meal for a Convalescent 1862

"Meal for a Convalescent" is a lithograph created in 1862 by French artist Jules de Goncourt. The piece depicts a woman standing in a darkened room, her face partially obscured by a white head covering, as she holds a plate of food in her hands. The artwork explores themes of sickness and care, and the somber tones of the etching create a sense of quiet contemplation. The lithograph is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
