Titled simply *Benevolence*, this work takes its subject from a virtue rather than from a specific place or event, which sets it apart from the more documentary views on the Religious board. Benevolence, the disposition to do good for others, has long been central to religious teaching, where charity, almsgiving and care for the needy are treated as expressions of faith. Artists working in devotional and allegorical traditions often gave such ideas human form, so that a single figure or gesture could carry a moral message. Viewers may find it rewarding to study the gestures and setting closely, since in images of this kind those details usually carry much of the meaning.
