The Blind Beggar by Alphonse Legros: A grayscale illustration of a man sitting on a crutch at the base of a tree on the left side, leaning back with head tilted up. He wears a jacket and pants. In the background, several trees are on the left and a body of water on the right. The image depicts a landscape with a man in old-fashioned clothing. The man has a long beard and balding hair. The trees have no leaves. The man sits on a crutch and rests an object on his lap. The scene is rendered in detailed pencil strokes.
