Nicolas Bernard Lépicié was an 18th-century French painter known for his genre scenes and portraits. One of his notable works is "An Old Beggar," which exemplifies his skill in capturing the human condition with empathy and detail. Lépicié, born in 1735, was the son of the engraver François-Bernard Lépicié and was trained under the guidance of Carle van Loo, a prominent Rococo artist.

"An Old Beggar" is a compelling depiction of poverty and resilience. The painting portrays an elderly man, dressed in tattered clothing, with a weathered face that tells a story of hardship. Lépicié's use of light and shadow highlights the textures of the man's skin and clothing, emphasizing his vulnerability and dignity. The background is typically subdued, focusing the viewer's attention on the subject's expressive features.

Lépicié's work is often noted for its realism and sensitivity, qualities that are evident in "An Old Beggar." His ability to convey emotion through subtle details makes this painting a poignant commentary on the social issues of his time. The artist's choice to depict a beggar reflects the Enlightenment's growing interest in social realism and the lives of ordinary people.

Throughout his career, Lépicié received acclaim for his ability to blend the elegance of Rococo with the emerging trends of realism. He became a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1769, further establishing his reputation in the art world. His works, including "An Old Beggar," continue to be appreciated for their technical skill and emotional depth.

While specific details about the provenance or current location of "An Old Beggar" may not be widely documented, Lépicié's contributions to art remain significant. His paintings offer insight into the societal dynamics of 18th-century France and continue to be studied for their artistic and historical value.
