En gammel tigger ved døren får almisse af husets børn is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting depicts a group of people in a room, with a man standing in the doorway and several children gathered around him. The man is dressed in dark clothing and has a hat on his head, while the children are wearing lighter-colored clothing. One of the children is holding out a small object, possibly a coin, to the man. The scene is set in a domestic interior, with a table and chairs visible in the background. The atmosphere appears to be one of charity or kindness, as the children seem to be offering something to the man. The painting is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the clothing and furnishings. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to the overall mood of the painting.
