"Hard Times" is a notable painting by the American artist Benjamin Franklin Reinhart, created in the mid-19th century. Reinhart, born in 1829, was a prominent figure in the American art scene, known for his genre paintings and portraits that often depicted scenes of everyday life with a strong narrative quality. "Hard Times" is one of his most acclaimed works, capturing the essence of the socio-economic struggles faced by many during that era.

The painting is characterized by its poignant portrayal of a family enduring hardship, a theme that resonates with the economic difficulties of the time, particularly the Panic of 1857, which had widespread effects on American society. Reinhart's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey deep emotion through his subjects are evident in this work. The composition typically features a family in a modest interior setting, with expressions and body language that convey their plight and resilience.

Reinhart's use of light and shadow in "Hard Times" enhances the emotional impact of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the faces of the family members and the sparse surroundings that speak to their financial struggles. The painting not only serves as a social commentary on the period's economic conditions but also highlights the universal themes of perseverance and hope amidst adversity.

"Hard Times" has been exhibited in various galleries and has been the subject of numerous art historical studies, which explore its significance within Reinhart's oeuvre and its reflection of 19th-century American life. The painting remains an important piece in the study of American genre painting, illustrating the power of art to capture and comment on the human condition.
