Lourdes, transport des paralysées (Lourdes, Transport of the Paralyzed) is a 1912 ink by Jean-Louis Forain, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a group of people, some of whom are in wheelchairs or on stretchers. They're being carried or pushed by others, possibly through a city street. The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings and what looks like a church steeple. One interesting detail is the way the artist has captured the movement and emotion of the scene. The figures are all in different poses, and the lines of the painting convey a sense of energy and activity.
