Portrait of a Beggar

Artist: Vasily Perov
Artwork: Portrait of a Beggar
Description: Perov created this painting in 1865 as a study for his larger work, “The Drowned Woman.” The painting depicts a beggar with a tattered hat and coat, standing in a field. The man’s face is sad and hopeless, and his eyes are downcast. Perov’s painting is a powerful indictment of the social conditions that allowed poverty and suffering to exist in 19th-century Russia.
