About the work
The illustration is said to represent Ronogue's Well near Cork. Pilgrimages to holy wells have always been a feature of Irish religious life. This drawing by Maclise is typical of his scenes of Irish local life, usually containing an element of caricature similar to that found in contemporary satirical prints.
