The Beggars by James McNeill Whistler: A dark alleyway with a vaulted ceiling and a lantern hanging from it. The walls are made of stone or brick. A woman and a child stand against the right wall, dressed in long robes. The woman appears to be elderly and is possibly begging. In the background, there are more people, including one carrying baskets. The alleyway leads to a brighter area with another building visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere is dimly lit and somber.
