Abstract
Pierre Auguste Cot's painting, "Mireille giving alms at the door of Saint-Trophime," depicts a wealthy lady giving alms to a crippled beggar boy. The beautiful painting portrays the striking contrast between the rich and the poor. The painting also draws attention to the crude crutch the boy was using. This type of crutch was used over the centuries; improvements in the design of the axillary crutch occurred only in the 20th century.
