Frontispiece (The Beggar Woman of Veze)

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of an elderly woman. She is bent over with her right hand extended outward. She has detailed facial features, a serene expression, and a headscarf covering her hair. She is wearing a long-sleeved garment that reaches her ankles and is barefoot. In the background, there are sketchy lines suggesting a barren setting.
