The Beggars: Beggar Woman Coming to Receive Alms

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a full-body illustration of a beggar woman. She stands facing left, wearing a long dress with a frayed bottom edge and a jacket or shawl over her shoulders. A cloth covers her head, tied at the top, and she holds a long staff in her right hand, while extending her left hand palm up. Her shoes appear worn. The image is in black and white, drawn on a piece of aged paper with a darker border around the drawing. A small number "96" is in the lower-left corner and a circular seal is in the lower-right corner. The background of the drawing is plain.
