Beggars, Tetuan, No.2 1912

"Beggars, Tetuan, No.2" is an etching by the Scottish artist James McBey, created in 1912. McBey is known for his evocative depictions of North Africa and the Middle East, captured through his travels and observations. This work displays McBey's mastery of line and shading in portraying the scene of three figures, likely beggars, positioned in front of a doorway. The composition emphasizes the depth of the archway, leading the viewer's eye towards the figures, who appear shrouded in mystery. The architectural details and the use of light and shadow evoke a sense of atmosphere and intrigue, characteristic of McBey's style.
