Paul Gavarni was a French artist known for his satirical and poignant depictions of everyday life in 19th-century Paris. This drawing, "English Beggar," portrays a solitary figure dressed in tattered clothing, leaning on a staff and gazing off into the distance. The figure's somber expression and worn garments evoke a sense of poverty and despair, highlighting the social injustices faced by the lower classes. Gavarni's work, often characterized by its detailed observations and insightful commentary on social issues, continues to resonate with viewers today.
