Homeless
Charles Jean Louis COURTRY 1846-1897

Late 19th Century
Etching

Painted by A.H. Marsh Etched by C Courtry

A very poignant depiction. A H marsh is one of the artists of England who have devoted themselves to the representation of pathetic subjects. The gravity of this painter's idea is always to be found in his coloring and tone, and this harmony admirably rendered by the etcher is one of the chief beauties of "Homeless". Therein is shown that great strength for labor is a past, and that a woman's age is left without the shelter which a life of privations might have been thought to have earned.
