Mendigos que se llevan solos en Bordeaux (Beggars Who Get about on Their Own in Bordeaux)

Francisco Goya

National Gallery of Art

This drawing is a sketch of a person sitting in a wheelchair that has two large wheels with spokes in the front and a smaller wheel in the back. The person's body is facing the left and their head is turned to the right as they lean slightly forward. Their features are sketched loosely, but they appear to have a beard and a partially open mouth. They wear a hat and a shirt with ragged edges, as well as plain dark pants. We can see their hands on their lap, and their legs appear to end at the knee. The background is plain paper, with some words written below the drawing.
