The Beggars' Fight, N. C. Wyeth Odyssey Framed Print (1929)

Two beggars are set to fight for the amusement of well-fed men. One of them owns the house, and he is keeping that to himself.

For someone who knows the pleasure of watching people show their character before they know yours.

Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a dining room or hallway, or as a gift for someone who has been underestimated.
