Colorful Clown with Umbrella and Beggars

An intriguing vintage illustration captures a cheerfully painted clown, dressed in a brightly striped and ruffled outfit, holding a partially open umbrella overhead. The clown's expressive face features a wide smile and rosy cheeks, and they appear to be interacting with two small, furry creatures positioned below. These animals, resembling trained dogs or meerkats, stand on their hind legs, seemingly awaiting a treat or performing for the clown. The artwork has the characteristic charm of an antique trade card or print, underscored by the simple caption, "Two beggars," at the bottom of the image, referring to the standing animals.
