Portraits

The Clubfoot is an oil on canvas painting completed in 1642 by the Spanish-born Baroque painter Jusepe de Ribera while he was working in Naples, depicting a person with a clubfoot. The art historian Ellis Waterhouse called it a touchstone by which the whole of Ribera's art can be interpreted. It is held today at the Musee du Louvre in Paris.
