Science and Charity 1897

"Science and Charity" (1897) by Pablo Picasso depicts a scene of a young woman lying in bed, likely ill, being attended to by a doctor and a nun with a child. The painting, created early in Picasso's career, showcases his skill in capturing the realism of the subject matter, a common theme in his early works. The painting currently resides in the Museu Picasso in Barcelona, Spain. This work is a powerful example of Picasso's early exploration of social commentary and the human condition.
