Arabisk tigger set bagfra 1905

"Arabisk tigger set bagfra" is an etching created by Danish artist Frans Schwartz in 1905. This piece, currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), captures a lone figure, likely an Arab beggar, viewed from behind. Schwartz's use of etching emphasizes the figure's form through subtle lines and shading, revealing a sense of solitude and vulnerability. The artwork's small scale, measuring just 128 mm in height and 69 mm in width, reinforces the intimate nature of the subject.
