Uitdeling van brood in het Aalmoezeniershuis

Once they are registered at the Aalmoezeniershuis, the poor are given tokens they can exchange for bread and other food. The institution is administered by six Almoners, two of whom are at work here, aided by an assisant. Their portraits are clearly painted from life, whereas the poor are the product of the artist’s imagination.
