(La Femme Hydropique)
In a well-appointed room, lighted by an arched window on the left,
an old woman is seated in an arm-chair. The sick woman, who raises
her eyes to heaven and is taking a spoonful of medicine from a
young woman, gives her right hand to a girl who kneels on the left
by her side. Towards the right stands the doctor, who holds up to
the light a glass full of liquid. A chandelier hangs in the centre,
and on the right are a large tapestry curtain and a wine-cooler.
Signed on the edge of the book placed on the reading-desk in the
left foreground:—
