The Blind Girl

Published: Oct. 27, 2020, 12:45 p.m.

Every time I look at The Blind Girl I forget the two girls are beggars. That may be due to the blind girl’s blissful expression. Also, John Everett Millais sets them in a picturesque field of lush, joyful color. Still, this lovely duo holds us gripped in their happy moment. The Blind Girl glows with golden serenity. Her companion gasps at the rainbow behind them. They each capture a sublime sensory experience. The younger girl keeps it simple with sight. Her tiny hand also clasps the elder girl’s. So, she’s got a connection with nature and humanity all at once.
