EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's engraving of "The Widows Mite" created in 1868. The image depicts a powerful biblical parable from the New Testament, illustrating themes of generosity, charity, and modesty. In this scene, Jesus observes a widow making her donation at the temple. Despite having very little to give, she selflessly offers two small coins known as "le denier de la veuve" or "the widows mite". L. Dumont skillfully engraved this poignant moment captured by Dore, emphasizing the widow's humility and sincerity in her act of giving. The composition beautifully portrays her quiet determination amidst a backdrop of ostentation and grandeur. This artwork serves as a timeless reminder that true generosity lies not in the size or value of our donations but rather in the purity of our intentions and actions. It encourages us to reflect on our own capacity for compassion and selflessness. Displayed here is an exquisite print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously crafted by these talented artists. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, let us be inspired by the widow's remarkable example of unwavering faith and boundless love for others – qualities that continue to resonate through generations. "
