This etching, created sometime between 1625 and 1700, depicts a beggar with a tattered outfit and a sign reading "Capitani de Baroni," a title of mock nobility. The anonymous artist likely produced this print as part of a series, "Les Gueux," that satirized the beggars of the time period. The print is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
