This etching by Pieter de Mare titled "Blinde met begeleider en bedelaar" (Blind Man with Guide and Beggar) is a poignant depiction of social inequality in the 18th century. The top panel portrays a blind man with a young guide, showcasing the reliance on others for survival, while the bottom panel shows a beggar, highlighting the plight of those in poverty. De Mare's meticulous detail and the emotive expressions of his subjects create a powerful image that speaks to the timeless struggles of human hardship. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the realism of daily life in a way that resonates with audiences today.
