Joueur d'Orgue (Organ Grinder)

Eugène Atget

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals interacting. On the left, an old man stands behind a wheeled organ grinder with both hands on the handles. He wears a dark jacket and a flat cap. The man shows his beard and mustache distinctly. Next to him is a woman who appears to be smiling with her mouth open. She leans slightly back, maintaining contact with the man's hand. Her long hair is pulled back, and she wears a long, dark dress. In the background, there is a building with shuttered windows and a sidewalk, providing a simple urban setting.
