"Blinde met begeleider" (Blind man with guide) is an etching by Dutch artist Pieter de Mare, created between 1768 and 1796. The small-scale artwork, measuring just 86 mm by 101 mm, depicts a blind man being guided by a woman. De Mare is known for his depictions of everyday life and his skill in capturing human emotion. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant example of his work, offering a glimpse into the social realities of 18th-century Dutch society.
