Trois Pauvres aveugles

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing featuring three figures depicted as visually impaired, standing at the edge of a precipice. The leftmost figure wears a pointed helmet with writing on the front, the middle figure has a tight blindfold, and the rightmost figure wears a wrap around its head. They lean slightly towards each other. The title of the drawing is "Trois Pauvres aveugles" meaning "Three Poor Blind Men." The style is reminiscent of 19th-century satirical works.
