A BEGGAR

Brief description: Stained glass panel showing a seated man with his arm outstretched. Made by Henry Holiday, 1907.

Stained glass panel showing a seated man reaching his arm out towards the figure of Jesus walking past. The man appears to be begging, and is seated on the cobbled ground by some steps. He is only partially clothed, with a blue cloth draped around his legs. His back is well modelled, probably from life, revealing a muscular body. His appearance is in stark contrast to the refined red robe and silver diapered cloak worn by Christ. The legs of other figures can be seen in the background standing on steps
