"The Pinch of Poverty" (1891) is a poignant oil painting by the English artist Thomas Benjamin Kennington (1856–1916), renowned for his realistic and empathetic portrayals of the Victorian era's impoverished and marginalized communities. This work stands as a testament to Kennington's artistic dedication to social realism and his deep concern for the societal issues of his time, particularly the plight of the poor. The painting depicts a distressing scene of a mother and her children in a state of destitution, encapsulating the struggles faced by the lower classes in late 19th-century England.

Kennington's mastery in the use of light and shadow, combined with his meticulous attention to detail, enhances the emotional impact of the scene, inviting viewers to reflect on the harsh realities of poverty. The artist's ability to convey the weight of despair and resilience in the faces of his subjects contributes to the painting's powerful narrative quality. "The Pinch of Poverty" not only highlights Kennington's skill as a painter but also serves as a critical social commentary, drawing attention to the urgent need for social reform during the Victorian era.

Throughout his career, Kennington was actively involved in efforts to alleviate the suffering of the poor, co-founding the New English Art Club, an institution that played a significant role in the introduction of social realism into British art. "The Pinch of Poverty" is emblematic of Kennington's legacy as an artist who used his talent to advocate for change, making it a significant work in the history of British art. The painting is celebrated for its historical and cultural relevance, offering insight into the socio-economic challenges of the time and the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity.
