This paintings called, Belisaire demandant l'aumone and was made by Jacques-Louis David in 1781.As you can see on the picture, the woman in the long dress is donating something to the older warrior, who holds a hungry child. In that century (18 th), people were suffering of the poverty, every generous portion of the wealthy aristocracy was a fortune. The painting clearly shows that, the soldier in the front is begging for some food or any other thing can help him to survive that day. You can see a younger a soldier in the back, terrified by that fact the young lady is giving away. It states, helping is more than just a friendly gesture.
