About the piece
Painted in 1812 by John Lewis Krimmel, this masterful genre scene depicts a blind fiddler performing for a multi-generational family in a humble dwelling. Often referred to as 'the American Hogarth,' Krimmel fills the canvas with charming narrative details, from the curious children and attentive adults to the domestic dog and scattered household wares, all rendered in a warm, earthy palette.
