Description of the subject depicted:
Originalpainting in the Collection at Schlelssheim. A simple subject, treatedin a truly skilful and masterly manner: an Italian Friar is seated atthe door of his monastery, to solicit the alms of the charitable, andthe lock on the box at his side, shews that they are not intended forhis personal use, but for that of the community to which he belongs.The head of the old man is full of character and expression, the lightfalling in one broad mass on his white beard and drapery, renders thepicture extremely effective, and with the neat, yet spirited style ofthe execution, renders this little gem one of the most attractivepictures in the collection to which it belongs.
