The Beggars: Beggar with Rosary is a 1623 by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a man standing, dressed in tattered clothing, with a long rosary hanging around his neck. He holds a hat in his left hand, and his attire appears worn and frayed. The background of the painting is a light beige color. The man's facial expression is somber, and his posture conveys a sense of humility. The rosary he wears adds a sense of devotion to his overall demeanor. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the overall mood of the painting. The Cleveland Museum of Art.
