La Cena miserable

Painted in an exaggerated expressionistic style, The Poor Supper depicts a lone woman sitting in a wooden high-backed chair at a tiled table. A small spoon rests in the bowl, suggesting that the meager meal has been finished but two tiny morsels of what appears to be bread remain on the table in front of her bowl. These meager portions could not possibly have satisfied the appetite of the impoverished diner.
