    The contrast in this painting is used to draw one’s attention to the center of the photo, where the light is illuminating the objects around it. The type of balance in this painting is radial, since the candle light radiates outward from the center in a circular fashion. The emphasis of the candle light makes it unavoidable to the viewer. Also, the woman’s deep gaze into the light draws attention to it as well. The space around the focal point allows the viewer to focus only on that, because it is plain with no distractions.…

The author can relate to the story because she was an immigrant from a small Polish village and had to overcome many obstacles to become successful. She rebelled against her parents’ wishes of following the traditional path of a women immigrant and left home at the age of seventeen to live at the Clara de Hirsch home for working girls. The American dream for most female immigrants was the expectation of marriage and motherhood, a factory job, or if they were lucky a salesgirl. As for Sara and Anzia, that was not enough for either of them. The goal of Yezierska in her books were to recreate the feelings of the immigrant girl she had once been, and how she tried to break away from oppressive strictures of her religion to make a name for herself. “Bread Givers” was a one of her best works by reliving her struggles and obstacles of being an immigrant and trying to become successful through Sara’s life.…

    The rectangular shape of the painting, which measures 49.5 inches tall by 77.5 inches wide, offers Bigot an interesting spatial arrangement.

They didn’t extend across the edge of the frame but it gives an expanding feeling because of the elongation of the figures. Also, the consistency of the diagonal lines present in the structure of the figures and drapery behind them harmonize with the horizontal frame.…
