A Woman's Charity, plate 49 from The Disasters of War

A hooded woman in a pale habit stands at left, offering something to a huddled group of figures seated on the ground before a stone wall. A darker figure in a wide-brimmed hat watches from the right, and the scene is rendered in brown etching and aquatint. The caption beneath the plate reads Caridad de una mujer.
