The Beggars: Beggar with Pot is a 1623 by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts an elderly man with a long white beard, dressed in a cloak and holding a pot in his right hand. He stands with his weight shifted onto his right leg, while his left leg is slightly bent. The man's attire is tattered, and he appears to be a beggar. A staff leans against the ground beside him, suggesting that he may have been traveling or is in need of support. The overall scene conveys a sense of age and hardship. This work is reminiscent of the style of Jacques Callot, a French artist known for his detailed and expressive depictions of everyday life during the Baroque period.
