Beggar with Rosary

after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-length figure of a person standing and slightly hunched over. The individual is holding a hat in one hand and the other arm is hanging by their side. The person has a full beard and their hair appears somewhat unkempt and short. They are wearing a flowing garment, with layered clothing visible underneath. Around the person's neck hangs a long string of large beads with a cross attached at the end. The background is a plain, textured surface that keeps the focus on the individual.
