Beggar with a Stick is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of an old man leaning on a stick. His clothes are loose and worn, and his hands look rough. His face is wrinkled, with a beard and a tired expression. The artist used lines to show every fold in his clothes and every crease on his skin. It’s all done by hand, with no color—just deep shadows and sharp edges. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
