Beggars

German Art around 1900, 1924

The artwork titled "Beggars" is a monochrome drawing showcasing three figures. Two adults and a child are depicted in an abstract, sketch-like style. The adult on the left is slightly hunched, with their face obscured, while the adult on the right shows more defined facial features, with a solemn expression. The child is positioned between them, with a visible face looking forward. The figures are wrapped in dark, flowing garments that blend into the shadowy background, creating a unified composition. The use of shading and line work adds depth and texture to the piece.
