carità romana is a 1615 unspecified by Bartolomeo Manfredi, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Uffizi Gallery.
This painting depicts a young woman standing beside an older man. The woman is dressed in a yellow robe, while the man wears a dark robe and has his hands chained together. The woman's right hand rests on the man's shoulder. The woman is positioned to the right of the man, with her body turned slightly towards him. Her gaze is directed towards the viewer, creating a sense of connection. The man, on the other hand, looks down, his face partially obscured by shadows. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a striking contrast between light and dark, adding depth and emotion to the scene.
