Blind Man 1880

Konstantin Egorovich Makovsky's "Blind Man" (1880) is a realistic portrayal of a blind man, likely a beggar. The painting depicts the subject in a moment of solitude, seated with his hands clasped in his lap. His weathered face and worn clothing evoke a sense of hardship, emphasizing the struggles of poverty and disability. This work showcases Makovsky's skill in capturing human emotion and portraying the realities of everyday life.
