Charitable Ladies

Hubert Robert, kb. 1780/1785

This is a painting of a street scene with a stone building and an obelisk. The painting shows figures interacting near a window and on the ground. The building has a striped awning and a fountain with water flowing from a lion's head. Debris and garments are scattered around the fountain. In the background, there is an obelisk with visible hieroglyphs. The figures are engaged in a performance or exchange, with a person playing a musical instrument and a dog sitting nearby. The style is reminiscent of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
