The artwork depicts Saint Charles Borromeo, a prominent figure in the Counter-Reformation, seated in a grand hall while distributing alms to the poor. The scene is filled with intricate details, including a bookshelf filled with books, an ornate ceiling adorned with cherubs, and a variety of figures in various poses. The monochromatic composition emphasizes the somberness of the scene, highlighting the stark contrast between wealth and poverty.
