More about this artwork

"The Beggar" by Alexandre Jacovleff captures a poignant moment, reflective of the societal challenges and personal adversities faced during the 1930s. This evocative painting is set in a dim, urban environment, likely suggestive of the hardships prevalent during the artist’s time. At the center of this composition is a huddled figure clad in a voluminous, tattered cloak that almost blends with the gritty textures and earthy tones of the surrounding walls and ground. The figure’s bare foot and visible hand evoke a raw vulnerability, emphasizing the harsh realities of poverty.In the background, slightly obscured and painted in cooler hues, a second figure walks away, their attention diverted elsewhere. This interaction—or lack thereof—between the figures poignantly underscores a theme of neglect and societal indifference towards the less fortunate. The powerful use of shadow and light intensifies the emotional weight of the scene, capturing the viewer's empathy for the solitary figure and provoking a deeper reflection on the broader social context of the time.
