Notes

This print is believed to be linked to a second print in the collection "Etching and engraving print of a man begging on a stoop". The prints appear to be from the same source as their dimensions are the same, they share repeated characters, and have have motifs that are drawn identically (the trees in the background of both prints). Most notably the men share the same style of hat, clothing, and facial features. Both are believed to be biblically related.
