"Charity" is a painting by French artist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. It depicts a woman in a white cloak offering aid to a poor family. The family, consisting of a mother and two children, is depicted kneeling and looking up at the charitable woman. The painting is notable for its use of muted colors and its depiction of a simple, yet profound moment of human kindness. This work is a prime example of Puvis de Chavannes's artistic style, which blended elements of Symbolism, Realism and Classicism. The artist was known for his large-scale murals and paintings often depicting allegorical and mythological themes, his work evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and moral uplift.
