Woman and Boy in the Snow
(18th and 19th Centuries )
Hennessy trained at the National Academy of Design in New York. His paintings and drawings were often marked by a sense of pathos. In this scene, an impoverished mother and her son, obviously insufficiently protected from the cold, trudge along a snow-strewn street.
