Beggar Woman with Crutches

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a full-body portrait of a person leaning forward slightly with two long sticks for support, one in each hand. The individual has visible age lines on their face, a neutral expression, and their hair is mostly covered by a headwear. They are dressed in loose, layered clothing extending to their feet. The background is plain.
