A H Marsh is one of the English artists who devoted themselves to the representation of pathetic subjects. The gravity of this painter's idea is always to be found in his colouring and tone, and this harmony, admirably rendered by the etcher, is one of the chief beauties of "Homeless". Therein is shown that great strength for labour is gone, and that a woman's old age is left without security or shelter after a life of privations and one might have thought she had earned at least this.
