Belisarius sits in a city square begging with a young boy helping him. A woman drops a coin in to his upturned military helmet held by the boy. As the woman drops the coin she holds a shawl over her face. A man standing behind her has both of his hands up in a posture of alarm. Note: By Jacques Louis David (1748-1825), neoclassical painter of Napoleonic period. Many engravings made after David's original piece.
