The Sleeping Beggar by Alphonse Legros: A black and white drawing of a man sleeping on a pile of sacks. The man has short hair and wears a long-sleeved tunic and shoes. He leans on a sack with his head resting on his arms. His legs are bent and his feet are on a flat surface. The background consists of dark, rectangular shapes resembling more sacks or boxes. The drawing is on a light-colored background with a textured appearance. The artist's signature is in the bottom right corner. The overall mood is somber and melancholic.
