S- The subject of the painting is poverty.
N- The narrator has a bias because he sees poverty a lot and so he knows what it looks like, whereas other people don't see it often. He may have been in poverty.
A- For the people not in poverty. Directed towards middle to upper class who don't see poverty and what it is like.
P- To show the truth about poverty and the desperation and hope of those in it.
I think the title means that the painting is just a little of what poverty really is. "Pinch" in a cookbook means a very small amount. So maybe the artist wanted to show that this was only the "tip of the iceberg", or just the beginning of poverty.
Artistic elements:
1. The flowers are bright, maybe like a metaphor to hope of selling and getting money.
2. The way the artist placed the people shows that the children are dependent on the mother. The boy leans on his mother and the baby is being held by her.
