Her hands look well fed. The clothes are bright not faded. The basket looks new. When I was in Italy I started to look hard at the Gypsies on the street and their skin did not look like they had lived a hard life. When you see true pictures of street people even in the U.S. you can see the hard life in their face. Why do you think she has her face covered? I do give credit for creativity and wish I had thought to give some of them tips and then taken their pictures as they were begging.

I do like the picture it reminds me of when I was in Italy, the cross in the hand makes it for me.
