A horizontally oriented woodcut print in thick black lines depicts a man with a light skin tone, long beard, and voluminous cloak, the Divine Beggar, walking to our right. White lines radiate from behind his head. To our left, emaciated figures lie within tiered structures. Behind him, another figure bends while a thin person stands at the far right. High contrast and coarse, expressive gouges define the forms.
