Lame Beggar Asking for Alms, Etching
A bearded man in loose period clothing hobbles left on a crutch, holding out a bowl with one hand toward an unseen giver. His posture is bent and his leg stiff against a flat, shaded landscape. Fine etched lines model the figure and ground in black on pale paper.
