| Title: | Maistre Robert, a Blind Healer, Healing by Laying-On of Hands |
|---|
| Notes: | The painting shows a blind man with a shell on his hat indicating that he is a pilgrim to the shrine of Saint James of Compostela. He is holding the left wrist of a young woman, to heal by touch. An inscription in French on the painting says that the healer's name is 'Master Robert', that he is a seventh son, and that he therefore has a natural gift of healing various illnesses by laying-on of hands. |
