About this work
Man, dressed in rags, seen from the right side, sitting, in the right hand a staff and a bowl or begging bowl, from which he is taking something to eat with his left hand (or is he perhaps counting his money?). This print is part of a series of 25 prints of beggars and vagrants, such as Callot who probably saw them in Italy.
