Reduced composition of a painting by Hogarth, cropped substantially on both sides: The pool of Bethesda after the Hogarth painting. As described in the Gospel of St John, Chapter V, Christ is shown healing the sick beside the Pool of Bethesda, as an angel observes from above. At the center Christ reaches out to a crippled man who sits beside the Pool of Bethesda, shown here with an ulcer on his leg. Among the others looking for cures is a girl with Down's Syndrome (?), a woman with consumption or tuberculosis; a blind man with a stick; a man with jaundice (or melancholia or depression); a bearded man with gout and a distressed woman beside him with an injured breast; a child in the foreground carries a crutch. In the background, a servant of a naked woman pushes aside a mother with a sick baby. The mistress is most probably suffering from gonorrhea, as indicated by the rashes on her skin. Finally, in the foreground on the extreme right a pitiful man with an emaciated face full of pain and a hand on his swollen abdomen uses a crutch to approach the pool

Purchased by Wilmarth Sheldon Lewis in Lima, Peru in 1943. Price $50 had been in there. Summary: A scene recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. An angel appears in a dream to Saint Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary to announce the conception of Christ through the Holy Ghost. The angel gestures with one finger both to heaven and the Virgin Mary as she approaches the sleeping Saint Joseph whose head is rests in slumber on his hand and elbow as he leans at his writing desk. He is dressed in blue and red ornamented with gold flowers. His other hand holds a flower. Above joseph is an image of the Virgin Mary who kneels in prayer before an open Bible. The cloud before here represents the Holy Ghost. In the foreground are two courting peacocks, the male with his tail fully fanned. In the distance a shepherd watches his flock in a meadow. In the distance a city, presumably Nazareth, is nestled in the hills
