The Beggars at the Last House

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of people outside a house. The house has a gable roof and a chimney emitting smoke. There is a large window on the front of the house. A group of people, some adults and some children, are standing in front of the house. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothing. There are trees and bushes on the left and right sides of the house. The sky is cloudy. The drawing is done in a detailed, woodcut style. The artist's style gives the scene a somber mood.
