Despair
Summary
A woman nursing a child in a bare and dilapidated room. She is seated facing the viewer with a child on her lap being nursed at her right breast. She wears ragged clothing. There is a small boy sat on the floor to the left, leaning back against the woman's legs. In the background a door can be seen lying off its hinges to the left. Bare floorboards dominate the foreground.
