The Beggars is a 1880 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a dimly lit interior scene, with a group of people gathered in a room. The atmosphere is somber, with muted colors and soft lighting. In the foreground, a woman stands out, dressed in a long, dark dress, while others are seated or standing around her. The room's decor is simple, with minimal furnishings and a sense of austerity. The artist's use of etching and drypoint techniques creates a sense of texture and depth, adding to the overall mood of the piece.
