This pen and ink drawing by Benjamin West, titled "Charity", depicts a female figure in a flowing robe, offering support to a kneeling figure and cradling a child. The figures are rendered in a classical style with emphasis on their anatomy and drapery. This artwork is a testament to West's artistic abilities and showcases his interest in classical themes and human emotion. While the exact date of this drawing is unknown, it was likely created during West's active career from 1738 to 1820.
