The Widow's Mite

The Widow's Mite is a watercolor drawing inspired by the biblical account in Mark 12:41–44 and Luke 21:1–4, which tells the story of a poor widow who donates two small copper coins—known as "mites"—to the temple treasury. Though her offering is monetarily insignificant compared to the larger gifts of the wealthy, Jesus commends her act, stating that she gave more than all others because she contributed everything she had, embodying true generosity and faith.

Through its evocative composition, The Widow's Mite invites viewers to reflect on the nature of giving, the value of intention over material worth, and the quiet strength found in acts of pure faith and generosity.
