"A Beggar and a Hurdy-Gurdy Player" is a notable etching by the French artist Jacques Callot, created during the early 17th century. Callot, renowned for his graphic works that often depicted the social realities of his time, produced a significant body of work that included beggars, soldiers, and scenes of everyday life, as well as more fantastical subjects. This particular etching is part of a larger series that focuses on the lives of the poor and the marginalized in European society during the Thirty Years' War.

The etching is characterized by its intricate detail and the use of Callot's innovative techniques, such as the échoppe, a tool that allowed for precise control over the line quality in etching, which he helped to popularize. "A Beggar and a Hurdy-Gurdy Player" exemplifies Callot's skill in rendering figures with a sense of individuality and character, despite their lowly status in society. The composition typically features the two titular characters, with the beggar often depicted in tattered clothing, indicative of his social position, and the hurdy-gurdy player performing as a means of subsistence.

As with many of Callot's works, this etching serves not only as an artistic endeavor but also as a social commentary, reflecting the artist's keen observation of the human condition and the disparities of wealth and power. The piece is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly attention for its artistic merit and historical significance.

"A Beggar and a Hurdy-Gurdy Player" remains an important work within Callot's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of the etching medium, as well as its insight into the socio-economic landscape of 17th-century Europe.
