Beggar with Crutches and Sack

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man standing upright, leaning slightly forward, with arms bent at the elbows. He is holding a crutch under each arm for support. The man has a beard, mustache, and hair partly covered by a bandage or headband. He wears a tattered cloak with visible tears and fraying, over layered and worn clothing. He does not wear any jewelry. The background is plain.
