A cartoon character in distress with spots on clothes and skin that seem to indicate dirt, damage or sickness. He is counting 3 coins on the palm of his hand. A cartoon character from an interwar, Republican-era Chinese literary/cultural magazine cover. — Manually traced in Inkscape. Optimized with SVGOMG. Surfaces have white background for easy coloring.
The cartoon ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NLC404-01J000309-6043_%E5%8D%83%E7%A7%8B_1934%E5%B9%B41%E5%8D%B715%E6%9C%9F.pdf ) seems to be labeled 彷徨 ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%BD%B7%E5%BE%A8 ) - to walk back and forth; to roam around; (figurative) to hesitate; to be irresolute; to be indecisive; to pause; (literary, of wind) to revolve; to go round; to spiral
