Beggar with Crutches and Hat, Back View

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing with their back to the viewer. They are mid-step, using crutches or sticks for support. The person wears a wide-brimmed hat, loose-fitting shirt, and cropped pants. Their right foot is bare while the left foot is covered with a tattered shoe or wrapping. A strap across their back suggests they carry something. The background is plain, focusing on the central figure.
