Character sketch of Behrman
Mr. Behrman has been described as a crusty old painter who lived on the ground floor of the same building as Sue and Johnsy. He was past sixty, had a Michelangelo's Moses bear curling down from the head of a satyr along his small body. He was a failure as a painter, one of those artists who always proclaimed to paint his masterpiece but never quite got around to doing it. He earned his living by modeling for other students and drank an excess of gin. However, he was also a fierce little old man who scoffed at softness in anyone and regarded himself as the protector of the two young artists in the studio above.
