But a rich landowner accompanied by an official came to visit a poor family, probably with a charitable purpose. She looks into the lorgnette hostess of the house, and she smiles at her obsequiously and timidly with hope for help.
The poor, beggarly furnishings of the room, poorly dressed households, the adult girl at the door with hopeless sadness on her face – everything suggests that this family really needs support. Just looking at the cold face of a philanthropist, she is unlikely to be serious.
The artist uses a range of gloomy, gray-brown tones to convey the intention of the painting.
