"Beggar with a Wooden Leg" is an etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created around 1630 during the artist's early period in Amsterdam. This work is part of a series of etchings depicting beggars, which reflects Rembrandt's interest in the lives of ordinary people and his commitment to portraying them with dignity and empathy. The etching is catalogued as Bartsch number 179 and H. 12 in the Hinterding catalog, which are reference systems used to identify Rembrandt's prints.

The image measures approximately 115 x 65 mm and showcases Rembrandt's skill in handling the etching needle to produce a range of tonal effects. It depicts a male figure seen in profile, leaning on a crutch with his wooden leg extended. The beggar's tattered clothing and the wooden leg are rendered with fine detail, demonstrating Rembrandt's ability to convey texture and the effects of light and shadow.

"Beggar with a Wooden Leg" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its social commentary. By the 17th century, beggars were a common sight in Dutch cities, and their portrayal in art often carried moral and allegorical meanings. Rembrandt's etchings of beggars are noted for their lack of moralizing, instead offering a more humanizing and individualized depiction of their subjects.

The etching is held in various museum collections and is studied for its contribution to the understanding of Rembrandt's graphic works and his approach to the marginalized segments of society. As with many of Rembrandt's prints, "Beggar with a Wooden Leg" has been the subject of scholarly research, which examines its place within the broader context of his oeuvre and the social history of the Dutch Golden Age.
