Description: | Signed: yes Description: In this painting a wealthy woman and her young daughter have just entered a Romanesque church. The mother has given her daughter a coin from her purse to put in the collecton tray, labelled Pour les pauvres malades, which is watched over by a young nun at prayer. The 'poor sick' however, are nowhere in evidence in this comfortable scene, as they may have proved distasteful to de Loose's bourgeois patrons. In fact the sign only serves to emphasise the health, wealth and obvious good fortune of the young mother and her little girl. | Subjects: | interior; everyday life; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Loose, Basile de (Belgian painter, 1809-1885) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8427... | Go to resource |
