"Pity the Sorrows of the Old Man" 1820 by Gericault

This lithograph is called "Pity the Sorrows of the Old Man" by Gericault. This lithograph show a homeless old man in the corner of a street. His clothes make it seem as if he use to be rich although they are torn up. He looks like he has given up on life. He's seems to be leaning against a bakery. On the right side there's people passing by walking down the street going on with their life as if everything were fine. The in front of him seems to be the only one who cares about the homesless old man.
This lithograph can relate to the 21st century today. Just like the man shown here, there are many homeless people living in the streets, especially San Francisco. Yet, instead of taking pity on the homeless person, people usually just pass right by the person as if they weren't there. People try not make eye contact with the homeless so they don't have to think about how much that person is suffering. It sad to think that dogs are more understanding and sweet to people than we are to eachother.
