Side view of what appears to be a very old woman with no legs. She is seated on a small platform with wheels. Her left hand is holding a flat iron type object while her right hand is extended, palm up, as if she is begging. Her sleeveless dress is covering what appears to be a lumpy mound of a body. She has a long crooked nose, protruding lip, and bushy eyebrow over a glaring eye. Blue "wiggles".
