Beggar with Bare Head and Feet

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the full body of a person standing. They are slightly hunched forward, with hands held together in front of their chest. The face has distinct, aged features, a prominent nose, and a scruffy beard. The hair is untidy and reaches about shoulder length. The person is wrapped in a large, tattered cloak or blanket that covers their body, leaving only the bare feet visible. The background is plain.
