Old Beggar with One Crutch

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person standing with their back to the viewer. The person is slightly bent forward, holding a walking stick with their right hand. Their facial features are not visible, but their shoulder-length hair is seen beneath a brimmed hat. They wear a long coat, baggy trousers, and boots. The background is plain, emphasizing the individual's form and clothing.
