Blind musician, Adriaen Brouwer
Like all the artist's works, the painting "The Blind Musician"is characterized by the roughness of a common type, small in size, written in wood. A black hat that extends to the most blind eyes, together with peasant clothes and huge shoes complete the appearance of an ordinary man - a poor man. With a violin on his chin, the musician plays a melody. About his homelessness and eternal wandering the figure of the boy's guide says. Relying on the staff and holding the musician in his hand, he carries him with him. A spectator clearly feels that in the future there will only be adversity and hardship waiting for him.
