(From the original painting by J. L. Gérôme.)

The standing monk gets our attention first, with his wicker alms basket hanging from his right arm, his right hand holding his cane. He wears only a rather skimpy loin-cloth fastened with a string, from which string also dangles a pouch perhaps for a pen or a small knife against his bare thigh. He is bare-headed and of course barefoot. I don’t know why the writers of the book describe the man as having a disagreeable appearance.
