This vibrant etching showcases a man dressed in period costume, embodying despair and poverty. The artist's use of color adds depth to the image, emphasizing the anguish and desperation on the subject's face. Maleuvre's caricature serves as a commentary on societal issues prevalent during that era. Through this artwork, he sheds light on the struggles faced by individuals who were penniless and jobless in France at that time.
