"Childless Millionaire and the Poor with Children" is a poignant work by the self-taught Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani, known for his folk-inspired style. The painting depicts a wealthy couple standing apart from a poor family with three children. Pirosmani's use of simplified forms and bold colors emphasizes the stark contrast between the two groups, creating a powerful social commentary on wealth inequality. This masterpiece, currently residing in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, is a testament to Pirosmani's ability to capture the essence of everyday life in a visually arresting manner.
