Two Beggar Women

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two full-body figures standing closely together. Both individuals are upright, with the figure on the left leaning slightly towards the other. Their facial features are minimally detailed, and both figures wear head coverings. They are dressed in long, flowing garments, holding an object between them. The figure on the right holds a staff or stick. The background is plain and featureless, focusing attention on the figures.
