The Beggars: One-Eyed Woman is a 1623 by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of an older woman standing still. She’s dressed in a long, loose coat with a hood pulled up, holding a walking stick in one hand and a small bag in the other. Her face looks tired, with deep lines and one eye closed. The artist focused on her rough clothes and worn-out look, making her seem real and ordinary. This style was common in drawings meant to show everyday life, not just fancy portraits. Next, check out Baroque to see how artists used drama and detail to tell stories.
