Disabled 1924

"Disabled" (1924), by Ukrainian artist Anatol Petrytsky, is a poignant depiction of a family struggling with hardship. The artwork portrays a group of individuals, possibly a family, seated together, their faces etched with the weight of their circumstances. A man, his leg resting on crutches, sits beside a woman wearing a vibrant red headscarf, while a young boy kneels in front of them, and a younger man sits on the right, looking at the viewer. The composition, with its subdued palette and realistic portrayal of poverty, is a stark reminder of the struggles faced by many during the early 20th century.
