Tramp with a Dog

The old man stands leaning slightly back, a jug with gold ornament held low in his right hand. His blue suit is worn through and mended — a checked patch stitched to the trouser leg, the left sleeve split open, a crumpled long-collared shirt pulled out beneath the jacket. A battered hat sits on his head above bristling brows and moustache. At his hip a red-and-white spaniel rears on its hind legs, and his toes show through a torn shoe.
