EDITORS COMMENTS
The Widows Mite (engraving) captures a poignant moment of selfless giving and faith. Created by Alexander Chisholm in 1836, this engraving beautifully illustrates the biblical story of the widow who offered her last two coins as an offering at the temple. In this scene, we see the widow standing humbly before a collection box, surrounded by onlookers. Despite her poverty and meager possessions, she willingly donates everything she has to support her community and demonstrate her unwavering trust in God's providence. Chisholm's intricate engraving technique brings depth and emotion to each figure depicted. The expressions on the faces of those witnessing this act of generosity range from surprise to admiration, highlighting the impact that such a small gesture can have on others. This print was originally featured in Fishers Drawing Room Scrap Book in 1836, serving as a visual representation of compassion and sacrifice for its readers. Today, it continues to serve as a reminder that true wealth lies not in material possessions but rather in acts of kindness towards others. The Widows Mite (engraving) is part of Bridgeman Images' extensive Fine Art Finder collection. Its historical significance and timeless message make it an invaluable piece for art enthusiasts seeking both aesthetic beauty and spiritual inspiration.
