In the work of De Ribera often meet or portraits of humble people with physical deformities. It 's the case of the child with a deformed foot, perhaps a congenital clubfoot. The author deals with what is often different, not beautiful, and expresses no surprise to observers, but to bring attention to that part of humanity that is usually the company wants to ignore.
