The sculpture depicts a man, wearing a top hat and coat, bent over, seemingly scavenging for scraps. Daumier was known for his social commentary, particularly through caricature, and this artwork encapsulates his critique of the social stratification of 19th century Paris, highlighting the plight of the poor and marginalized.
