This evocative drawing captures a lone beggar seated in a rudimentary wheeled cart, his figure sketched with loose, expressive lines that convey both movement and a certain raw vulnerability. The subject is depicted wearing a wide-brimmed hat, with a scruffy beard and worn clothing, imparting a stark sense of the hardships endured. The wheels of the contraption dominate the composition visually, their detailed spokes providing a striking contrast to the sketchy, almost ghostly rendering of the man. Below the scene, softly handwritten text in Spanish labels the figure, adding an intimate layer — 'Mendigos que se llevan solos en Bordeaux' — a title suggesting autonomous wandering despite adversity. The use of soft pencil or charcoal creates subtle shading and a misty atmosphere, blurring edges and emphasizing the fragile, transient existence of the figure.
