Sue and Johnsy, as well as Old Behrman, are struggling artists who dream of one day painting their masterpiece. However, Old Behrman is in conflict with his desires. He never works at his painting other than a few advertisements, but he desires to paint a masterpiece. His redeeming quality is his protectiveness over Sue and Johnsy.
