"The Beggars" (Kennedy 194) is an etching created by the American-born, British-based artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1879. Whistler, renowned for his contributions to the Aesthetic Movement, was a master of etching and drypoint techniques, and "The Beggars" stands as a testament to his skill and artistic vision. This work is part of Whistler's "Venice, a Series of Twelve Etchings," commonly known as the "First Venice Set," which he produced during his 14-month stay in Venice from 1879 to 1880.

"The Beggars" captures a scene of two figures in a narrow Venetian alleyway, embodying Whistler's fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his keen eye for the atmospheric qualities of urban landscapes. The etching is characterized by its intricate line work and the subtle gradations of tone that Whistler achieved through his meticulous technique. The figures, rendered with a sense of immediacy and intimacy, are enveloped by the textured walls and the play of light, creating a composition that is both evocative and poignant.

Whistler's time in Venice was a period of prolific output and artistic experimentation. He was deeply influenced by the city's unique architecture, its labyrinthine streets, and the ever-changing reflections of light on water. "The Beggars" reflects these influences, showcasing Whistler's ability to capture the essence of a place and its inhabitants with remarkable sensitivity and precision.

The etching was well-received by contemporary critics and collectors, further establishing Whistler's reputation as a leading figure in the art world. Today, "The Beggars" is held in high regard and is included in the collections of several major museums, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of Venetian life.
