Campendonk uses the woodcut medium to considerable effect, creating linear visual patterns and high contrast, evoking a strange dream-like place where the beggars form a tight little circle, a passer by almost disappearing into the black background. The print is based on the original oil painting of the same title, painted in 1568 by Pieter Breughel the Elder.
Printed by Marées-Gesellschaft.
