The Young Beggars

Karl Ludwig Bernhard Buchhorn

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Young Beggars by Karl Ludwig Bernhard Buchhorn: A young female figure, likely a child or teenager, standing barefoot in a landscape. The girl has curly hair and wears a tattered head covering. Her tunic is worn, frayed, and tattered with several holes; it is tied at the waist with a sash or belt. The girl holds a pottery vessel with a single handle in her left hand. Her right hand appears to be adjusting or lifting part of her tunic. In the background are low, hazy hills. The tones of the image range from light brown to dark brown.
