"Roman Charity" is a painting by Willem Drost, a Dutch artist and one of Rembrandt's most talented pupils. The work is an interpretation of the story of Cimon and Pero, a popular theme in art that exemplifies the virtue of filial piety. In the tale, Pero secretly breastfeeds her father, Cimon, who has been condemned to starve to death in prison, thereby saving his life. Drost's rendition of this classical subject is noted for its emotional depth and the skillful use of chiaroscuro, a technique he learned from Rembrandt.

The painting is a testament to Drost's mastery of the human figure and his ability to convey complex human emotions. The composition focuses on the intimate moment between father and daughter, with their expressions and the physical connection between them serving as the focal point. The use of light and shadow not only highlights the figures but also adds a dramatic intensity to the scene.

Willem Drost's "Roman Charity" is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and the Baroque period. It reflects the influence of his teacher, Rembrandt, while also showcasing Drost's individual style and interpretation of a historical and moralistic subject. The painting is a significant example of the cultural and artistic values of the 17th-century Dutch Republic, where historical and mythological themes were often used to reflect contemporary concerns about morality and virtue.
