Description of a painting
The scene takes place in the canteen of an orphanage.
In the background, we can see children (orphans) and the second cook.
In the foreground, we can see Oliver Twist and a cook/the supervisor.
In this scene, Oliver is asking for more food and the other children are waiting and looking at him.
The cooks are very surprised and shocked whereas Oliver looks very brave and a little scared too.
All the orphans are very slim/skinny because they are really hungry/starving.
