Beggar with Hat in Hand (Mendiant avec son chapeau a la main)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper half of a man's body, seated with his head tilted downwards. He has a pronounced brow and a long beard. His hair is sparse and closely cropped. He is wearing a textured cloak or robe, holding a hat in one hand and resting it on his knee. In the background, there is a large, bare tree trunk with bare branches.
