The image depicts a monochrome etching or print showing an outdoor scene with several figures. In the foreground, a central figure is sitting on what appears to be a wheeled device, possibly to assist with mobility. This figure is dressed in clothing that suggests the image is from an earlier century. To the left, a younger figure is depicted holding a basket and wearing a long dress and bonnet, standing still and facing away from the viewer. In the background, there is an architectural structure with a bricked wall and barred windows. On the right side of the image, there is what looks like the rear of a carriage equipped with large spoked wheels and a partial view of a horse. The scene is rendered with attention to shading and detail, conveying a historical setting. The caption "A PARALYTIC WOMAN" is clearly inscribed below the image.
