"An Old Couple Begging on the Street" is a painting by Flemish artist David Teniers the Younger, known for his genre scenes of peasant life. The artwork depicts an elderly couple, likely impoverished, begging on the street. The man, with a long beard and a hat in his hand, holds a walking stick while his wife sits with a basket at her feet. Their humble attire and the scene's setting near a stone wall and countryside suggest their plight. The painting captures a poignant moment of desperation and highlights the social realities of the time.
