"Le Pied-bot" (Club Foot - see
detail) c. 1642 by Jose de Ribera (1591-1642) - Louvre Museum, Paris, France.
Many lame people have to resort to either begging (for the "Love of God" as depicted here) or in "developed"
societies, dependency on public charity. In many countries, club foot remains a common deformation that
is mostly a preventable type lameness.
