Beggar Woman with Crutches

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing and leaning on two crutches. The person is facing forward with a slightly hunched posture. Their detailed facial features include a furrowed forehead, closed mouth, and deep-set eyes. They are wearing a close-fitting hat with fabric draping around their face, and their hair is not visible. The loose clothing consists of a long garment with full sleeves and a flowing skirt. The person is depicted in a setting against a simple, unadorned surface. The overall appearance suggests a historical or traditional style of dress.
