This painting shows a young girl standing in front of a plain wall. She is dressed in a long white dress with a dark sash around her waist, and a white veil covers her head. Her hands are clasped together in front of her, and she looks down at the ground with a somber expression. The girl's clothing and posture suggest that she is a beggar, and the title of the painting confirms this. The artist has used oil paint to create a realistic and detailed image of the girl. The painting is held at the Nationalmuseum.
