Blind Child Reading Braille
c. Late 19th/Early 20th Century
oil on canvas
33 x 24 inches
Unusual oil on canvas depicting a blind child reading a text in braille on a warm brown background.
The naive technique of the work suggests the painter could’ve known the child, perhaps as a family member or teacher.
The work itself likely dates between the mid 19th and early 20th centuries, making this a remarkably early depiction of braille.
Signed Lamb to lower right corner.
