Etching of a seated man in a coat holding a top hat, with a shaggy dog lying beside him on the ground.

A legless man sitting on a wooden cart, presumably begging for alms, is surrounded by two dogs. Etching by J.T. Smith, 1816.

A seated man in a coat and cravat holds a top hat on his lap while a shaggy dog lies at his side on sloping ground. Fine cross-hatched etching lines build the shadows and the rough texture of the fur and cloth.
