Beggar with Pot

after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an elderly man standing, slightly hunched over, holding a walking stick in one hand and a bundle of cloth in the other. He has prominent facial features, deep lines on his face, a beard, sparse and unkempt hair, and wears loose-fitting clothing, including a cloak or heavy garment draped over his shoulders, layered garments, and large boots. The man carries a bundle and is situated against a plain background.
