Poverty (Armut) is a 1919 ink by Aloys Wach, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a man sitting on the ground, dressed in a blue jacket and brown pants. He has a yellow hat on his head and is looking down, with his hands resting on his knees. The background is dark, with some green and pink shapes visible behind him. The man's facial expression is somber, and his posture conveys a sense of despair. The overall mood of the painting is one of sadness and hardship. The artist's use of bold lines and vibrant colors creates a striking contrast between the subject's emotions and the surrounding environment.
