The fascinating website Caeremoniale Romanum, the resource for information on the ceremonies and praxis of the Papal Court, has some superb colour oleo-prints by Vincenzo Marchi of Papal Holy Week in the reign of Pius IX. Below the Pope washing the feet of thirteen paupers and then, later, supervising the serving of a dinner for them.
From the same website's YouTube channel there is a video of John XXIII on Maundy Thursday 1959 washing the feet of thirteen priests. Apparently, the Mandatum had not been performed by the Papal Court for 80 years. Below a screen capture from the video.
