A striking mezzotint after the original painting by William Owen (1769-1825), showing the blind beggar of Bednall Green and a woman, with one hand on his shoulder, the other open and outstretched. The dedication and titular inscription is at the lower edge, completed with the artist's names and a short poem about the beggar in both French and English.
The mezzotint has been presented in a fine late 19th Century Hogarth frame.
On wove.The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. There is some abrasion to the wove surface at the upper edge. There is a tear to the right edge and two to the lower left edge. The frame has some losses to the corners and lower edge.
