"En blind sanger i Alicante" 1864

"En blind sanger i Alicante" (A Blind Singer in Alicante), a 1864 etching by Danish artist Jacob Kornerup (1825-1913), depicts a blind man seated and playing a guitar. The scene is likely set in Alicante, Spain, where street musicians were common. The artist’s detailed rendering of the subject and the surrounding environment, including the brick wall behind him, creates a sense of realism and intimacy. The work is part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
