Beggar with Crutches and Sack

after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing with a slight hunch, using a crutch under each arm for support. He has rugged facial features with a long, unkempt beard and bushy eyebrows. He has thick, disheveled hair and wears a headband or turban. His clothing is loose and tattered, including a long cloak, layered garment, patched pants, and worn shoes. The background is a plain surface.
